CUPIDO by RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE SOLID, SOLID UNIVERSE
Last Line: THE EVIL AND THE GOOD.
Subject(s): CUPID; EROS;

The solid, solid universe
Is pervious to Love;
With bandaged eyes he never errs,
Around, below, above.
His blinding light
He flingeth white
On God's and Satan's brood,
And reconciles
By mystic wiles
The evil and the good.
