FUJI AT SUNRISE, by ERNEST FRANCISCO FENOLLOSA Poet Analysis First Line: Startling the cool gray depths of morning air Last Line: And seek eternal bliss in yon pink kindling star! Subject(s): Fuji, Mount | ||||||||
Startling the cool gray depths of morning air She throws aside her counterpane of clouds, And stands half folded in her silken shrouds With calm white breast and snowy shoulder bare. High o'er her head a flush all pink and rare Thrills her with foregleam of an unknown bliss, A virgin pure who waits the bridal kiss, Faint with expectant joy she fears to share. Lo, now he comes, the dazzling prince of day! Flings his full glory o'er her radiant breast; Enfolds her to the rapture of his rest, Transfigured in the throbbing of his ray. O fly, my soul, where love's warm transports are; And seek eternal bliss in yon pink kindling star! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FUJI-YAMA by PERCY STICKNEY GRANT LAKE HAKONE by JANET B.
