SONGS FROM VAGABONDIA:L'ENVOI, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography First Line: Have little care that life is brief Last Line: Where my dust with dust confers. Subject(s): Religion; Theology | ||||||||
I HAVE little care that Life is brief, And less that Art is long. Success is in the silences Though Fame is in the song. II With the Orient in her eyes, Life my mistress lured me on. "Knowledge," said that look of hers, "Shall be yours when all is done." Like a pomegranate in halves, "Drink me," said that mouth of hers And I drank who now am here Where my dust with dust confers. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY A MORE ANCIENT MARINER by BLISS CARMAN |
