NATURE (1) by RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: A SUBTLE CHAIN OF COUNTLESS RINGS
Last Line: MOUNTS THROUGH ALL THE SPIRES OF FORM.
Subject(s): NATURE;

A subtle chain of countless rings
The next unto the farthest brings;
The eye reads omens where it goes,
And speaks all languages the rose;
And, striving to be man, the worm
Mounts through all the spires of form.
