IMAGINARY INSCRIPTION (ON A ROCK RESEMBLING COLOSSAL HUMAN FEATURES) by WILLIAM WATSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE SEAFOWL BUILD IN WRINKLES OF MY FACE
Last Line: IN SHOWERS OF BRIGHT WHITE THUNDER, BREAKS THE SEA.
Subject(s): STONES; GRANITE; ROCKS;
THE seafowl build in wrinkles of my face.
Ages ere man was, man was mocked by me.
Kings fall, gods die, worlds crash. At my throne's base,
In showers of bright white thunder, breaks the sea.
