THE SUPERMAN by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE MAN I GIVE TOAST TO
Last Line: OF COURSE YOU DIVINE I -- ALLUDE TO MYSELF.
Subject(s): PRAISE;
THE man I give toast to
And praise in this sonnet
Has never played host to
A bee in his bonnet.
Remarkably moderate,
Thoroughly sane,
Indeed odd and odder it
Seems to my brain
So few are inclined to
Give heed to his tone,
But still have a mind to
Fool views of their own.
The wisdom of Sinai is his by the shelf . . .
Of course you divine I -- allude to Myself.
