ATAVISTIC, by PAULINE GARNER CURRAN First Line: Four walls for my body Last Line: Find the way back! | |||
Four walls for my body To shield me from the cold; Four walls for my thinking Lest I grow over bold. Outside foaming grasses And moon-frosted sea; Within, a vase of roses Trimmed to rigidity. I dare not cross the lintel Or open the least crack, For never could such running Find the way back! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE VICAR OF WAKEFIELD: SONG by OLIVER GOLDSMITH WHICH WAS MOST TRULY DEAD? by CHARLES AUGUSTIN SAINTE-BEUVE THE ARGONAUTS (ARGONATUICA): EROS AND HIS MOTHER by APOLLONIUS RHODIUS SONG: 2 by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD TO S-----D (2) by WILLIAM BLAKE THE ROBIN REDBREAST by MATHILDE BLIND THE RETORT DISCOURTEOUS by BERTON BRALEY |
