THAT WHICH HATH BEEN IS NAMED ALREADY, AND THAT IS MAN, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Eye hath not seen: - yet man hath known and weighed Last Line: Deep answereth deep. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina | |||
'EYE hath not seen': -- yet man hath known and weighed A hundred thousand marvels that have been: What is it which (the Word of Truth hath said) Eye hath not seen? 'Ear hath not heard': -- yet harpings of delight, Trumpets of triumph, song and spoken word, Man knows them all: what lovelier, loftier might Hath ear not heard? 'Nor heart conceived': -- yet man hath now desired Beyond all reach, beyond his hope believed, Loved beyond death: what fire shall yet be fired No heart conceived? 'Deep calls to deep': -- man's depth would be despair But for God's deeper depth: we sow to reap. Have patience, wait, betake ourselves to prayer: Deep answereth deep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BED OF FORGET-ME-NOTS by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BETTER RESURRECTION by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BIRTHDAY by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A CHRISTMAS CAROL (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A DIRGE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A LIFE'S PARALLELS by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A PAUSE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
