MORNING-GLORY, by HORTENSE KING FLEXNER First Line: To argue from the design in the morning-glory Last Line: God. Subject(s): Future Life; Retribution; Eternity; After Life | ||||||||
To argue from the design in the morning-glory To the intention of Eternity Is not permissible. The material in the star-webbed flower Is more obedient to law Than the stuff of the soul, Where the wild ungovernable molecule. The untamed particle Destroys with its presence In the design and texture of your face, My effort to simplify God. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IKON: THE HARROWING OF HELL by DENISE LEVERTOV LEEK STREET by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR UNABLE TO FIND by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS 3 by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS: 1 by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE AFTERLIFE: LETTER TO STEPHEN DOBYNS: 2 by HAYDEN CARRUTH WRITING IN THE AFTERLIFE by BILLY COLLINS 800,000 VIBRATIONS TO THE SECOND by HORTENSE KING FLEXNER |
