AS BY THE DEAD WE LOVE TO SIT, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: To our penurious eyes!
Subject(s): Life


As by the dead we love to sit,
Become so wondrous dear -
As for the lost we grapple
Tho' all the rest are here -

In broken mathematics
We estimate our prize
Vast - in its fading ration
To our penurious eyes!
