ABOVE you burns a molten-copper sun, Before you hangs the imminent abyss, Flaring in white, a desperate game to run, This frozen speedway to the deeps of Dis! Now bend your heart and foot and spirit straight, That none may shrink, Then down, down, down the eagle takes his flight! Sailing an instant on the wings of Fate, An aeon poising on the utter brink, Then out! into a wilderness of light! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BLOODY SIRE by ROBINSON JEFFERS GAME AFTER SUPPER by MARGARET ATWOOD DANGEROUS GAMES by CAROLYN KIZER THE GOOD AUTHOR by CAROLYN KIZER BATTLEDORE AND SHUTTLECOCK by AMY LOWELL THE LOST CHILDREN by GREGORY ORR SNAKE EYES by MINNIE BRUCE PRATT TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
