Classic and Contemporary Poetry
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...MOTHER JUNKIE by CLARENCE MAJOR THIRD BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 25 by THOMAS CAMPION SONNETS ATTEMPTED IN THE MANNER OF CONTEMPORARY WRITERS: 2 by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE THE TWO MYSTERIES by MARY ELIZABETH MAPES DODGE SATIRES OF CIRCUMSTANCE: 9.
