AESTHETICS, by CHARLES TRUEMAN LANHAM Poet's Biography First Line: Your slender throat Last Line: In sudden slantings through the vale. Alternate Author Name(s): Lanham, C. T. Subject(s): Admiration; Beauty | |||
Your slender throat Is smoother than the ivory crucifix you wear, Is whiter than the moonflower in your midnight hair. Your throat is molded snow, Perfect . . . pale. Tomorrow I shall hide you from the sun. Tomorrow I shall watch the swallows come and go In sudden slantings through the vale. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN DIVINELY SUPERFLUOUS BEAUTY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS LIFE FROM THE LIFELESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS REARMAMENT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SHANE ONEILLS CAIRN by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIFTS by CHARLES TRUEMAN LANHAM |
