Classic and Contemporary Poetry
AN ADRIANA, by ARTHUR PETERSON Poet's Biography First Line: A gentle, patient, loving wife, / she moves among the merry scenes Last Line: Embodied in our later day! Subject(s): Mythology | |||
A gentle, patient, loving wife, She moves among the merry scenes, Where none knows what the other means, And blunders fill the stage with strife. At each Antipholus oft we smile, And the two Dromios wake our laughter, But Adriana haunts us after Master and man no more beguile Her naiad face, her classic air, Elizabethan half, half Greek, Her tuneful voice, so wifely-meek, Make up an impersonation rare. Sweet dame, for thee was writ this play, The woman Shakespeare drew, thou art; The fair creation of his heart Embodied in our later day! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BEDTIME READING FOR THE UNBORN CHILD by KHALED MATTAWA EAST OF CARTHAGE: AN IDYLL by KHALED MATTAWA SEVEN TWILIGHTS: 7 by CONRAD AIKEN VICARIOUS ATONEMENT by RICHARD ALDINGTON NOTHING ABOUT THE MOMENT by LUCILLE CLIFTON VENUS IN A GARDEN by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON AN OFFERING FOR TARA by GARY SNYDER A CLOUD FANCY by ARTHUR PETERSON |
