TWOFOLD by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE

Poet Analysis

First Line: HOW GORGEOUS THAT SHOCK OF RED LILIES, AND LARKSPUR CLEAVING
Last Line: AND PASSION UNBEARABLE SEETHES IN THE DARKNESS, LIKE MUST IN A VAT.

HOW gorgeous that shock of red lilies, and larkspur cleaving
All with a flash of blue! -- when will she be leaving
Her room, where the night still hangs like a half-folded bat,
And passion unbearable seethes in the darkness, like must in a vat.
