PALACE OF THE WORLD, by LOUIS HENRI JEAN FARIGOULE First Line: The sky opened unresistingly Last Line: The storm that calls. Alternate Author Name(s): Romains, Jules Subject(s): Clouds; Sky; Storms | ||||||||
The sky opened unresistingly To fleet clouds; There was gaiety Unlasting. We must find summer Reared on four columns, A day high-vaulted Where footfalls resound. Not these false vapours That a festival Or a fair chance that befalls Seem to send into the sky That at once descry And far off hail The storm that calls. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STORM AT HOPTIME by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THERE IS A SOLEMN WIND TONIGHT by KATHERINE MANSFIELD DEWEY AND DANCER by JOSEPHINE MILES MICHAEL IS AFRAID OF THE STORM by GWENDOLYN BROOKS BREACHING THE ROCK by MADELINE DEFREES THE CLOUDS ABOVE THE OCEAN by STEPHEN DOBYNS OF POLITICS, & ART by NORMAN DUBIE TREMENDOUS WIND AND RAIN by ANSELM HOLLO ANOTHER SPIRIT ADVANCES by LOUIS HENRI JEAN FARIGOULE |
