Shot gold, maroon and violet, dazzling silver, emerald, fawn, The earth's whole amplitude and Nature's multiform power consign'd for once to colors; The light, the general air possess'd by them -- colors till now unknown, No limit, confine -- not the Western sky alone -- the high meridian -- North, South, all, Pure luminous color fighting the silent shadows to the last. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WORN WEDDING-RING by WILLIAM COX BENNETT THE SILLER CROUN by SUSANNA BLAMIRE LIFE by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE PROLOGUE, SPOKEN BY MR.
