A black, E white, I red, U green, O blue, Vowels; some day I shall reveal your birth: A, black velvet swarm of flies that over earth Buzz to the foulest stench, abyss of hue Sombre; E frank with smoke and fierce intents, Spears of proud glaciers, white kings, sun-shade strips; I purple of spitting blood, laugh of fair lips In anger or in drunken penitence; U, cycles, divine rhythm of the seas, Peace of beast-strewn pastures, wrinkles that crease Brows whereon the furrow of learning lies, O, great lightning, with strange clamors hurled Over the quiet of angels and the world, O omega, violet ray of her eyes. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...W (A USER'S MANUAL) by CHRISTIAN BOK THE VOWELS; FOR LEON BAKST by JOHN GOULD FLETCHER THE VOWELS: AN ENIGMA by JONATHAN SWIFT VOWELS by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD CHAPTER E, SELS. by CHRISTIAN BOK CHAPTER I, SELS. by CHRISTIAN BOK CHAPTER O, SELS. by CHRISTIAN BOK A SEASON IN HELL, SELECTION by ARTHUR RIMBAUD |
