AFTER READING AESCHYLUS, by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN Poet's Biography First Line: I will not sing my little puny songs Last Line: Pass into me, till I am musical. Alternate Author Name(s): Dolben, Digby Augustus Stewart Mackworth Subject(s): Aeschylus (525-456 B.c.) | |||
I WILL not sing my little puny songs. It is more blessed for the rippling pool To be absorbed in the great ocean-wave Than even to kiss the sea-weeds on its breast. Therefore in passiveness I will lie still, And let the multitudinous music of the Greek Pass into me, till I am musical. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FROGS: THE FATAL OIL-FLASK by ARISTOPHANES THE FROGS: THE FROGS' SONG by ARISTOPHANES THE FROGS: THE RIVAL POETS by ARISTOPHANES AFTER AESCHYLUS by JOSEPH TWADELL SHIPLEY A LETTER by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN A POEM WITHOUT A NAME: 1 by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN A POEM WITHOUT A NAME: 2 by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN A PRAYER by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN A SEA SONG by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN A SONG OF EIGHTEEN by DIGBY MACKWORTH DOLBEN |
