WRESTLING, by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON Poet's Biography First Line: Our oneness is the wrestlers', fierce abd close Last Line: Wrestle for this. Alternate Author Name(s): Leigh, Arbor; Guggenberger, Mrs. Ignatz; Bevington, L. S. Subject(s): Wrestling & Wrestlers; Judo; Karate | |||
OUR oneness is the wrestlers', fierce and close, Thrusting and thrust; One life in dual effort for one prize, -- We fight, and must; For soul with soul does battle evermore Till love be trust. Our distance is love's severance; sense divides, Each is but each; Never the very hidden spirit of thee My life doth reach; Twain! since we love athwart the gulf that needs Kisses and speech. Ah! wrestle closelier! we draw nearer so Than any bliss Can bring twain souls who would be whole and one, Too near to kiss: To be one thought, one voice before we die, -- Wrestle for this. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BOUT by EVARISTE BOULAY-PATY EGOISME A DEUX' by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON A DISMISSAL by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON AT SABBATH DOWN by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON BEES IN CLOVER; A SONG by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON BOUGHT WITH A PRICE by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON CLOUD-CLIMBING by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON DEDICATION TO POEMS, LYRICS AND SONNETS by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON DINNER by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON GOLD AND STEEL; THE ANSWER by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON |
