ELEMENTAL, by VERNE BRIGHT First Line: Fire, malevolent, can char Last Line: Love is much akin to these. | |||
Fire, malevolent, can char And make a cinder of a star. Water, with its trivial thrust, Can grind a continent to dust. With its swift obsidian dart, Frost can break a mountain's heart.... To a soul bereft of ease, Love is much akin to these. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HARVEST OUT OF STONE by VERNE BRIGHT LAMENT FOR OLD MEN by VERNE BRIGHT LAMENT FOR PIONEERS by VERNE BRIGHT ONLY THE HEART IS HAUNTED by VERNE BRIGHT GHOSTS OF A LUNATIC ASYLUM by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET THE EXECUTION OF MONTROSE by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN GLADYS AND HER ISLAND; AN IMPERFECT TALE WITH DOUBTFUL MORAL by JEAN INGELOW |
