Call over the men from Zurich. Call a raft Of Viennese big shots. Follow, follow the gleam! Much have I traveled, dancing-eyed and daft; Attacked with scalpel many a bulging dream; Rung bells in many an obscene vestibule At ultimate doors with transoms horror-bright; Heard Delphi whimper and Dodona drool -- But da, da, da! the canvas dribbles light! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RICHARD, WHAT'S THAT NOISE? by RICHARD HOWARD LOOKING FOR THE GULF MOTEL by RICHARD BLANCO RIVERS INTO SEAS by LYNDA HULL DESTINATIONS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE ONE WHO WAS DIFFERENT by RANDALL JARRELL THE CONFESSION OF ST.
