ESTHETIC EXPERIENCE, by ETHEL MARY DAVIS First Line: Beauty to her was less in rough, gray thunder Last Line: Her more articulate ashes told our blunder. Subject(s): Beauty; Esthetics | |||
Beauty to her was less in rough, gray thunder Than in the little waves along the shoal; Beauty to her was less in words than wonder, Less wonder than a triumphing of soul. In hourly intervals of white desire Her body fell a prey to Beauty's plunder. Afar, pale signals seemed her spirit's fire -- Her more articulate ashes told our blunder. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ESTHETIC THEORIES ART by RANDALL JARRELL ON HEARING THE CLIMATE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PRAISED by ETHEL MARY DAVIS A COLONIAL MORNING DREAM by KAREN SWENSON A MINUET OF MOZART'S by SARA TEASDALE THE HOUSE OF LIFE: 6.
