WHO WOULD BE VALIANT, by KATHLEEN SUTTON First Line: Speak then in figures, trusting they will know Last Line: Whose frightened eyes beseech us to be blind. | |||
Speak then in figures, trusting they will know (But not too well) whereof we would attest; One should be delicate in grief, although The fox gnaws ever deeper at the breast. Let us go robed in metaphor among Our friends, the ripped flesh to itself resigned; They too hide wounds unnamed, even the young Whose frightened eyes beseech us to be blind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FRAGMENT, ON THE BACK OF THE POET'S MS.
