TO RIDGELY TORRENCE - PLAYWRIGHT, by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: All hail! Fair vistas break upon the view Last Line: Of him who wrought so mightily and well! Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John Subject(s): Torrence, Frederic Ridgely (1875-1950) | |||
All hail! fair vistas break upon the view, The gates swing wide and free with clanging sound, Rejoice! a mighty champion is found, Son of the morning, prescient and true. Upon the threshold of a cycle new He stands, and sentinels its virgin ground, Seer in his poet-visioning profound, Presaging vaster reaches—skies more blue. Lifting their misty glances to the day, The prismic children pass the erstwhile bars, Exultant, swiftly, boundingly they stray, Awhile forgetful of deep, hidden scars Thus, as a golden legend time shall tell Of him who wrought so mightily and well! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PASSING GLIMPSE; TO RIDGE TORRENCE ON LAST LOOKING INTO HESPERIDES by ROBERT FROST OLD BLACK MEN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SONG OF THE SINNER by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE MEASURE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE RETURN (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON WELT by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE, MY LITTLE ONE' by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A BIT OF SKY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A DIM DOORWAY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A PARADOX by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
