THE BLACK RIDERS: 28, by STEPHEN CRANE Poet Analysis First Line: Truth,' said a traveller Last Line: The hem of its garment. | |||
"Truth," said a traveller, "Is a rock, a mighty fortress; Often have I been to it, Even to its highest tower, From whence the world looks black." "Truth," said a traveller, "Is a breath, a wind, A shadow, a phantom; Long have I pursued it, But never have I touched The hem of its garment." And I believed the second traveller; For truth was to me A breath, a wind, A shadow, a phantom, And never had I touched The hem of its garment. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LITTLE BIRDS OF THE NIGHT by STEPHEN CRANE THERE IS A GREY THING THAT LIVES IN THE TREE-TOPS by STEPHEN CRANE THE BLACK RIDERS: 1 by STEPHEN CRANE THE BLACK RIDERS: 22 by STEPHEN CRANE THE BLACK RIDERS: 38 by STEPHEN CRANE THE BLACK RIDERS: 56 by STEPHEN CRANE THE BLACK RIDERS: 9 by STEPHEN CRANE WAR IS KIND: 1 by STEPHEN CRANE WAR IS KIND: 12 by STEPHEN CRANE WAR IS KIND: 21 by STEPHEN CRANE |
