MOLES by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE

Poet Analysis

First Line: THEY SHRINK IN, AS MOLES
Last Line: THE NATURAL ALIEN OF THEIR NEGATIVE EYE.
Subject(s): ANIMALS; MOLES;
They shrink in, as Moles
(Nature's mute monks, live mandrakes of the ground)
Creep back from Light -- then listen for its sound; --
See but to dread, and dread they know not why --
The natural alien of their negative eye.
