LOVE IS NOT WINGED, by EUBULUS First Line: Who gave love wings? Whose pencil drew the line Last Line: The man's a fool who ever mentioned wings. Subject(s): Love - Nature Of | ||||||||
WHO gave Love wings? Whose pencil drew the line Or fingers modelled wax to that design? To sketch a swallow was his only art, A man unschooled to know the god apart. Love is no feather-weight: whom love attacks Have pains to shift that burden from their backs, -- A load so plaguy where he sits and clings The man's a fool who ever mentioned wings. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RESCUE THE DEAD by DAVID IGNATOW BUTTERFLIES UNDER PERSIMMON by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 27 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 30 by JAMES JOYCE HE WHO KNOWS LOVE by ELSA BARKER LOVE'S HUMBLENESS by ELSA BARKER SONG (IN THE LUCKY CHANCE) by APHRA BEHN |
