PERSPIRATION: A TRAVELING ECLOGUE, by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The dust flies smothering, as on clatt'ring wheels Last Line: The fleecy files faint-ruminating lie. | ||||||||
The Dust flies smothering, as on clatt'ring Wheels Loath'd Aristocracy careers along. The distant Track quick vibrates to the Eye, And white and dazzling undulates with heat. Where scorching to th' unwary Traveller's touch The stone-fence flings its narrow Slip of Shade, Or where the worn sides of the chalky Road Yield their scant excavations (sultry Grots!), Emblem of languid Patience, we behold The fleecy Files faint-ruminating lie. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A DAY DREAM by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE A THOUGHT SUGGESTED BY A VIEW, OF SADDLEBACK IN CUMBERLAND by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE AN INVOCATION; SONG, FR.
