THE LAST MAN: EXTREME ACCLIVITY by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES

Poet Analysis

First Line: ITS IMPOSSIBLE ASCENT WAS STEEP
Last Line: THE GHOST OF CHAOS HAUNTS THE RUINED SKY.
Subject(s): CHAOS; CLIMBING;
ITS impossible ascent was steep,
As are the million pillars of a shower
Torn, shivered, and dashed hard against the earth,
When Day no longer breathes, but through the hours
The ghost of chaos haunts the ruined sky.
