PORTRAIT IN THE HORIZONTAL, by RUTH FITCH BARTLETT First Line: By apple trees let him be measured Last Line: Of old saw mills. | |||
By apple trees let him be measured, Not by pines. He has no spiked ambitions But inclines To tangle gestures, leisured, Leaf-broken lines. By fields and horizontal places, Not by hills, Nor Gothic cities judge him; He fulfils The destiny of ponds, behind the races Of old saw mills. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVE POSTPONED by RUTH FITCH BARTLETT POSSESSED by RUTH FITCH BARTLETT SHE LOOKS BEYOND TO-MORROW by RUTH FITCH BARTLETT WAR IS KIND: 23 by STEPHEN CRANE YOUTH by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CELIA'S HOMECOMING by AGNES MARY F.
