IN HADES, by ANNA CALLENDER BRACKETT First Line: Then saw I, with gray eyes fulfilled of rest Last Line: "he knew the whole - and could not choose but turn!" | |||
THEN saw I, with gray eyes fulfilled of rest, And lulling voice, a woman sweet, and she,-- "Bear thou my word: I am of all most blest; Nor marvel that I am Eurydice. I stood and watched those slow feet go from me Farther and farther; in the light afar, All clear the figure grew -- then suddenly Into my dark his face flashed like a star!-- And that was all. The purple vaporous door Left me triumphant over time and space; Sliding across between forevermore, It could not hide the glory of that face. For me no room to doubt, no need to learn-- He knew the whole - and could not choose but turn!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FEW RULES FOR BEGINNERS by KATHERINE MANSFIELD TO-MORROW TO FRESH WOODS AND PASTURES NEW' by AMY LOWELL SONG BY THE WINDOW BEFORE BED by KATHERINE MANSFIELD LA CONDUCTORA DEL DESEO/CONDUIT by VIRGIL SUAREZ FAITH AND DESPONDENCY by EMILY JANE BRONTE THE ROLLING ENGLISH ROAD by GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON TO THE IMMORTAL MEMORY OF THE HALIBUT ON WHICH I DINED by WILLIAM COWPER |
