TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 3. IN THE DEEP CAVE OF THE HEART, by EDWARD CARPENTER Poet's Biography First Line: In the deep cave of the heart, far down Last Line: Words float, and fragrance of time ascends, and life ever circling. Subject(s): Hearts; Love; Mankind; Human Race | ||||||||
IN the deep cave of the heart, far down, Running under the outward shows of the world and of people, Running under geographies, continents, under the fields and the roots of the grasses and trees, under the little thoughts and dreams of men, and the history of racer, Deep, far down, I see feel and hear wondrous and divine things. Voices and faces are there; arms of lovers, known and unknown, reach forward and fold me; Words float, and fragrance of Time ascends, and Life ever circling. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOW MUCH EARTH by PHILIP LEVINE THE SHEEP IN THE RUINS by ARCHIBALD MACLEISH THE CONQUERORS by PHYLLIS MCGINLEY THE MARMOZET by HILAIRE BELLOC MEN, WOMEN, AND EARTH by ROBERT BLY BROTHERS: 3.
