CISMA DE INGLATERRA: STANZA 1, by PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCA Poet's Biography First Line: Hast thou not seen, officious with delight Last Line: His sunflower wings their own funereal pyre? | |||
HAST thou not seen, officious with delight, Move through the illumined air about the flower The Bee, that fears to drink its purple light, Lest danger lurk within that Rose's bower? Hast thou not marked the moth's enam-oured flight About the Taper's flame at evening hour, Till kindle in that monumental fire His sunflower wings their own funereal pyre? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BELSHAZZAR'S FEAST by PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCA CISMA DE INGLATERRA: STANZA 2 by PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCA SCENES FROM THE MAGICO PRODIGIOSO by PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCA THE DREAM CALLED LIFE by PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCA THE LAMENT OF SIGISMUNDO IN LA VIDA ES SUENO by PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCA THE PURGATORY OF SAINT PATRICK by PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCA SOPHISTICATION by CONRAD AIKEN THE INCOGNITA OF RAPHAEL by WILLIAM ALLEN BUTLER SONNET: ADDRESSED TO HAYDON (1) by JOHN KEATS TO A CHILD OF QUALITY, FIVE YEARS OLD.
