TWILIGHT, by JOHN GOULD FLETCHER Poet's Biography First Line: Light is horror and darkness beauty - only in the vague hours where they mingle Last Line: Contemplating in its perfect constancy their own unconsciousness. Subject(s): Night; Bedtime | ||||||||
LIGHT is horror and darkness beauty -- only in the vague hours where they mingle, Can all who wander without the great dark pale enclosing That intangible unreal loveliness, catch some faint apprehension Of what the power of Night, without beginning or end in the seasons, Without change, limitless in space, may be to the Gods unknown Contemplating in its perfect constancy their own unconsciousness. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN ARIZONA POEMS: 2.
