ATAVISTIC, by PAULINE GARNER CURRAN First Line: Four walls for my body Last Line: Find the way back! | |||
Four walls for my body To shield me from the cold; Four walls for my thinking Lest I grow over bold. Outside foaming grasses And moon-frosted sea; Within, a vase of roses Trimmed to rigidity. I dare not cross the lintel Or open the least crack, For never could such running Find the way back! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AGAINST THE REST OF THE YEAR by JAMES GALVIN AND SO, I THINK DIOGENES by AMY LOWELL DOROTHY DANCES by LOUIS UNTERMEYER LEONARDO'S 'MONNA LISA' by EDWARD DOWDEN A POET'S FANCIES: 8.
