RUPERT BROOKE (DIED APRIL 23, 1915), by JOHN DRINKWATER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: To-day I have talked with old euripides Last Line: While our immortal fellowship remains. Subject(s): Brooke, Rupert (1887-1915); Poetry & Poets; Soldiers' Writings | |||
TO-DAY I have talked with old Euripides; Shakespeare this morning sang for my content Of chimney-sweepers; through the Carian trees Comes beating still the nightingales' lament; The Tabard ales to-day are freshly brewed; Wordsworth is with me, mounting Lough-rigg Fell; All timeless deaths in Lycid are renewed, And basils blossom yet for Isabel. Quick thoughts are these; they do not pass; they gave Only to death such little, casual things As are the noteless levies of the grave, -- Sad flesh, weak verse, and idle marketings. So my mortality for yours complains, While our immortal fellowship remains. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DON JUAN'S SONG by ISAAC ROSENBERG HEART'S FIRST WORD (2) by ISAAC ROSENBERG IN PICCADILLY by ISAAC ROSENBERG IN THE UNDERWORLD by ISAAC ROSENBERG NIGHT AND DAY: 1.
