SONNET OF 'SCHIZOPHRENIA', by WILLIAM RODDY CHARLTON First Line: Restless ever-moving winds that blow Last Line: To become at last an endless loving whole. | ||||||||
Restless ever-moving winds that blow so swiftly bring my destiny to me, I can but wait and never more be free nor know the peace that other mortals know; my life must be the savage intermittent flow of mountain streams that wildly seek the sea and having found it then must cease to be because the greater Force would ever have it so... But though it twists and tears upon its way and sometimes lies in murky stagnant pools the surging force that is my soul will somehow reach an everlasting day and shining clear will pass a million fools to become at last an endless loving Whole. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PHOSPHORESCENT MAN by KAREN SWENSON STANZAS FOR MUSIC (2) by GEORGE GORDON BYRON JUNE BRACKEN AND HEATHER by ALFRED TENNYSON ON THE DEATH OF JAZZ by JOHN KENDRICK BANGS SORROW AND JOY by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES EARLY NIGHT by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON TO MY MISTRESS SITTING BY A RIVER'S SIDE; AN EDDY by THOMAS CAREW |
