THE LAST MAN: ANTICIPATION OF EVIL TIDINGS by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES

Poet Analysis

First Line: I FEAR THERE IS SOME MADDENING SECRET
Last Line: TELLING OF MURDER.
Subject(s): EVIL; MURDER; SECRETS;
I FEAR there is some maddening secret
Hid in your words, (and at each turn of thought
Comes up a skull,) like an anatomy
Found in a weedy hole, 'mongst stones and roots
And straggling reptiles, with his tongueless mouth
Telling of murder.
