TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 3. LOVE'S VISION, by EDWARD CARPENTER Poet's Biography First Line: At night in each other's arms Last Line: He the eternal appeared. Subject(s): Love; Religion; Theology | |||
AT night in each other's arms, Content, overjoyed, resting deep deep down in the darkness, Lo! the heavens opened and He appeared Whom no mortal eye may see, Whom no eye clouded with Care, Whom none who seeks after this or that, Whom none who has not escaped from self Therein the region of Equality, in the world of Freedom no longer limited, Standing as a lofty peak in heaven above the clouds, From below hidden, yet to all who pass into that region most clearly visible He the Eternal appeared. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY AS A MOULD FOR SOME FAIR FORM by EDWARD CARPENTER |
