THEME AND VARIATION, by ROBERT EARL HAYDEN Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Fossil, fuchsia, mantis, man | |||
I Fossil, fuchsia, mantis, 1nan1 fire and water, earth and air all things alter even as I behold, all things alter, the stranger said. Alter, become a something more, a something less. Are the reveling shadows of a changing permanence. Are, are not and same and other, the stranger said. II I sense, he said, the lurking rush, the sly transience flickering at the edge of things. I've spied from the corner of my eye upon the striptease of reality. There is, there is, he said, an imminence that turns to curiosa all I know·· that changes light to rainbow darknes wherein God waylays us and empowers. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WALL STREET PIT, MAY, 1901 by EDWIN MARKHAM MAHMOUD by JAMES HENRY LEIGH HUNT TWILIGHT by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE SA-CA-GA-WE-A; THE INDIAN GIRL WHO GUIDED LEWIS AND CLARK by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR HIS HEART, INTO A BIRD by PHILIP AYRES PARODY OF A SHROPSHIRE LAD by HENRY MAXIMILIAN BEERBOHM THE LETTER by CHARLOTTE BRONTE THE WANDERER: 1.
