PROPHET by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE

Poet Analysis

First Line: AH, MY DARLING, WHEN OVER THE PURPLE HORIZON SHALL LOOM
Last Line: WOUNDING THEMSELVES AGAINST HER, DENYING HER FECUND EMBRACES.

AH, my darling, when over the purple horizon shall loom
The shrouded mother of a new idea, men hide their faces,
Cry out and fend her off, as she seeks her procreant groom,
Wounding themselves against her, denying her fecund embraces.
