DISCLOSED, by GEORGE HERBERT FULLERTON First Line: Thrice have I seen the living soul disclosed Last Line: Each held a beauteous soul which god had given. Subject(s): Art & Artists; Nature; Soul | ||||||||
Thrice have I seen the living soul disclosed, Three living souls of artists consecrate Unto their dearest art, and these were they: A circus rider on his prancing steed, An organist before the organ keys, A Spanish dancer with her castanets; Yea, I have seen a fourth triumphal soul, The soul of Nature, when the setting sun The western cloud-decked heavens had illumed; Each held a beauteous soul which God had given. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CRUEL FALCON by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE WHOLE SOUL by PHILIP LEVINE I KNOW MY SOUL by CLAUDE MCKAY HONORING THE SAND; IN MEMORY OF JOSEPH CAMPBELL by ROBERT BLY THE CHINESE PEAKS; FOR DONALD HALL by ROBERT BLY THE LIFE OF TOWNS: TOWN OF THE EXHUMATION by ANNE CARSON LINES INSCRIBED UPON A CUP FORMED FROM A SKULL by GEORGE GORDON BYRON |
