L'ENVOI: THE RETURN OF THE SIRE DE NESLE, A.D. 16 -, by HERMAN MELVILLE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: My towers at last! These rovings end Last Line: But blest to fold but thee. Subject(s): Sharks | ||||||||
My towers at last! These rovings end, Their thirst is slaked in larger dearth: The yearning infinite recoils, For terrible is earth! Kaf thrusts his snouted crags through fog: Araxes swells beyond his span, And knowledge poured by pilgrimage Overflows the banks of man. But thou, my stay, thy lasting love One lonely good, let this but be! Weary to view the wide world's swarm, But blest to fold but thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SHARKS IN THE RIVERS by ADA LIMON SHARKS AT THE NEW YORK AQUARIUM by CHARLES MARTIN NURSE SHARKS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS ABOUT THE TEETH OF SHARKS by JOHN CIARDI THE SHARK'S PARLOR by JAMES DICKEY PLAGUE OF DEAD SHARKS by ALAN DUGAN SALLY SIMKIN'S LAMENT by THOMAS HOOD FORMERLY A SLAVE' (AN IDEALIZED PORTRAIT, BY E.
