PARADOX, by ANGELINA WELD GRIMKE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: When face to face we stand
Last Line: .......
First Line: When face to face we stand
Last Line: .......
When face to face we stand
And eye to eye,
How far apart we are --
As far, they say, as God can ever be
From what, they say, is Hell.
.......
But when we stand
Fronting the other,
Mile after mile slipping in between,
O, close as is the shadow to the body,
As breath, to llife, ...........
As kisses are to love.
