IN ONE OF ITALY'S CATHEDRALS, by LAVINIA R. CLARK First Line: In one of italy's cathedrals, vast-domed Last Line: Seems beating out a prayer. Subject(s): Churches; Humanity; Prayer; Religion; Cathedrals; Theology | |||
In one of Italy's cathedrals, vast-domed, Upheld by mammoth pillars, delicately carved, Where the warm light from rich stained glass windows Streams in through the half-gloom, I see a prostrate figure kneeling, A laboring man, in whose rapt and upturned face The heart of all humanity Seems beating out a prayer. | 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 A FLAKE OF FOAM by LAVINIA R.
