IF YOU ARE FIRE AND I AM FIRE by ISAAC ROSENBERG

Poet Analysis

Last Line: As if it had not been?
Subject(s): FIRE;

If you are fire and I am fire,
Who blows the flame apart
So that desire eludes desire
Around one central heart?
A single root and separate bough,
And what blind hands between
That make our longing's mutual
glow
As if it had not been?
