A FEAR, by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: As over muddy shores a dragon flock Last Line: To find detested tracks of his old way | |||
AS over muddy shores a dragon flock Went, in an early age from ours discrete, Before the grim race found oblivion meet; And as Time harden'd into iron rock That unclean mud, and into clifls did lock The story of those terrifying feet With hooked claws and wrinkled scale complete, Till quarrying startles us with amaz'd shock: So there was something wont to pass along The plashy marge of early consciousness. Now the quagmires are turned to pavement strong; Those outer twilight regions bold I may Explore, - yet still I shudder with distress To find detested tracks of his old way | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EPITAPH by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE RYTON FIRS by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE ALL LAST NIGHT I HAD QUIET by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE ROSES CAN WOUND by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE AN ESCAPE by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE BLIND by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE CEREMONIAL ODE; INTENDED FOR A UNIVERSITY by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE DECEMBER 31ST by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE EPITAPH by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE HOPE AND DESPAIR by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE |
