SOME EYES CONDEMN, by PHILIP EDWARD THOMAS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Some eyes condemn the earth they gaze upon Last Line: Dumb: for they flamed and it was me they burned. Alternate Author Name(s): Eastaway, Edward; Thomas, Edward Subject(s): Eyes | ||||||||
Some eyes condemn the earth they gaze upon: Some wait patiently till they know far more Than earth can tell them: some laugh at the whole As folly of another's making: one I knew laughed because he saw, from core To rind, not one thing worth the laugh his soul Had ready at waking: some eyes have begun With laughing; some stand startled at the door. Others, too, I have seen rest, question, roll, Dance, shoot. And many I have loved watching. Some I could not take my eyes from till they turned And loving died. I had not found my goal. But thinking of your eyes, dear, I become Dumb: for they flamed and it was me they burned. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BANGLA DESH: 2.
