MAGIAN WINE, by HERMAN MELVILLE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Amulets gemmed, to miriam dear Last Line: Ambiguous in the beading hymn. Subject(s): Alcoholism & Alcoholics | ||||||||
Amulets gemmed, to Miriam dear, Adown in liquid mirage gleam; Solomon's Syrian charms appear, Opal and ring supreme. The rays that light this Magian Wine Thrill up from semblances divine. And, seething through the rapturous wave, What low Elysian anthems rise: Sibylline inklings blending rave, Then lap the verge with sighs. Delirious here the oracles swim Ambiguous in the beading hymn. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NO NONSENSE by CHARLES BUKOWSKI THE REPLACEMENTS by CHARLES BUKOWSKI BELLEVUE EXCHANGE by NORMAN DUBIE EVEN NOW YOU ARE LEAVING by TESS GALLAGHER ANY NEWS FROM ALPHA CENTAURI by ANSELM HOLLO FORMERLY A SLAVE' (AN IDEALIZED PORTRAIT, BY E.
