GEORGE MEREDITH TO MISS DIXON (JUNE 9, 1892), by HENRY W. KING First Line: From box hill, dorking, so the heading reads Last Line: Wrought by the glowing letters of his name. Subject(s): Meredith, George (1828-1909); New York City; Novels & Novelists; Manhattan; New York, New York; The Big Apple | |||
From Box Hill, Dorking, so the heading reads, Lettered in red; and underneath, his hand Has scrawled of Motterone and the land He loved so well (his children did brave deeds In Italy!); he prays the pleasant meads May once more greet him if he there shall stand Alone, as yesterday, or with a band Of such companions as a poet needs. Yet he is now grown old and may not run As once he did before the eastern sun. His garden and a dusty dream must fill The want he feels for shouting up the hill. And so the letter ends; save for the flame Wrought by the glowing letters of his name. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...READY FOR THE CANNERY by BERTON BRALEY TRANTER IN AMERICA by AUGUST KLEINZAHLER MEETING YOU AT THE PIERS by KENNETH KOCH FEBRUARY EVENING IN NEW YORK by DENISE LEVERTOV ON 52ND STREET by PHILIP LEVINE THREE POEMS FOR NEW YORK by JOSEPHINE MILES NEW YORK SUBWAY by HILDA MORLEY THE LIBERTY MOTOR by HENRY W.
