DEAD FIRES, by JESSIE REDMOND FAUSET Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: If this is peace, this dead and leaden thing Last Line: Than passion's death! | |||
If this is peace, this dead and leaden thing, Then better far the hateful fret, the sting. Better the wound forever seeking balm Than this gray calm! If this pain's surcease? Better far the ache, The long-drawn dreary day, the night's white wake, Better the choking sigh, the sobbing breath Than passion's death! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENIGMA by JESSIE REDMOND FAUSET LA VIE C'EST LA VIE by JESSIE REDMOND FAUSET UPON THE DEATH OF THE LORD HASTINGS by JOHN DRYDEN HOMAGE TO THE BRITISH MUSEUM by WILLIAM EMPSON REQUIEM FOR ONE SLAIN IN BATTLE by GEORGE LUNT SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: PETIT THE POET by EDGAR LEE MASTERS RUMORS FROM AN AEOLIAN HARP by HENRY DAVID THOREAU THE SMALL CELANDINE by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH TO THE CUCKOO (1) by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH THE WEDDING FEAST: 2 by ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH |
