POETA NASCITUR, by THOMAS ASHE Poet's Biography First Line: The flame-wing'd seraph spake a word Last Line: To heal, or make them less. Subject(s): God; Poetry & Poets | ||||||||
THE flame-wing'd seraph spake a word To one of Galilee: -- "Be not afraid: know, of the Lord Is that is born of thee." And by the poet's bliss and woe Learn we the will of Heaven: He is God's instrument; and so Swords in his heart are seven. He is God's oracle and slave, As once the priestesses; His griefs in keeping we should have, To heal, or make them less. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
