A FRESHET, by ANTIPHILUS OF BYZANTIUM First Line: O hotspur torrent, crested high in air Last Line: A bastard from a lawful stream full well. | |||
OHOTSPUR torrent, crested high in air, Why do you cut in twain a traveller's road? No lucent wave fit for the Nymphs you bear, Drunk with your drawings from a thunder-cloud; I'll see you shrivel yet -- the sun can tell A bastard from a lawful stream full well. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ONCE IN A WAY by ANTIPHILUS OF BYZANTIUM THE OLD FERRYMAN by ANTIPHILUS OF BYZANTIUM OPPOSITES by KATHERINE MANSFIELD INEVITABLY (2) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A SONG OF FREEDOM by ALICE MILLIGAN SUPER FLUMINA BABYLONIS by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE IN MEMORIAM A.H.H.: 1 by ALFRED TENNYSON PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 23.
