A JAPANESE FAN, by MARGARET VELEY Poet's Biography First Line: Though to talk too much of heaven Last Line: Japanese. Subject(s): Fans | |||
Though to talk too much of Heaven Is not well, Though agreeable people never Mention Hell, Yet the woman who betrayed me, Whom I kissed, In that bygone summer taught me Both exist. I was ardent, she was always Wisely cool, So my lady played the traitor— I, the fool. Oh! your pardon! but remember If you please, I'm translating: this is only Japanese. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BLACK LACE FAN MY MOTHER GAVE ME by EAVAN BOLAND ON FINDING A FAN by GEORGE GORDON BYRON A PAINTED FAN by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON WRITTEN ON THE LEAVES OF A FAN by FRANCIS ATTERBURY ON A FAN by MATILDA BARBARA BETHAM-EDWARDS THE POMPADOUR'S FAN by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON FOR A FAN by RICHARD WATSON GILDER BALLADE OF THE FAN by WILLIAM FREDERICK KIRK ANOTHER FAN (OF MADEMOISELLE MALLARME) by STEPHANE MALLARME FIRST OR LAST?; A WIFE TO HER HUSBAND by MARGARET VELEY |
