Aye, well I know 'tis ghastly to descend that valley: Preachers, musicians, poets, painters, always render it, Philosophs exploit -- the battlefield, the ship at sea, the myriad beds, all lands, All, all the past have enter'd, the ancientest humanity we know, Syria's, India's, Egypt's, Greece's, Rome's; Till now for us under our very eyes spreading the same to-day, Grim, ready, the same to-day, for entrance, yours and mine, Here, here 'tis limn'd. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FROM PRADO ROTUNDA: THE FAMILY OF CHARLES IV, AND OTHERS by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER THE STUDIO (HOMAGE TO ALICE NEEL) by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER JOE BRAINARD'S PAINTING 'BINGO' by RON PADGETT THE PICTURE (VENUS RECLINING) by EZRA POUND HER EYES by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON PAINTED FISHES by CARL SANDBURG A BROADWAY PAGEANT by WALT WHITMAN |
