MOMUS, by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Where's the need of singing now? Last Line: Momus, there'll be you. | ||||||||
"WHERE'S the need of singing now?"-- Smooth your brow, Momus, and be reconciled, For King Kronos is a child-- Child and father, Or god rather, And all gods are wild. "Who reads Byron any more?"-- Shut the door, Momus, for I feel a draught; Shut it quick, for some one laughed.-- "What's become of Browning? Some of Wordsworth lumbers like a raft? "What are poets to find here?"-- Have no fear: When the stars are shining blue There will yet be left a few Themes availing-- And these failing, Momus, there'll be you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AN EVANGELIST'S WIFE by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON AN ISLAND (SAINT HELENA, 1821) by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON ANOTHER DARK LADY by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON BALLADE OF DEAD FRIENDS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON CAPUT MORTUUM by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON CHARLES CARVILLE'S EYES by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON CORTEGE by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON DEMOS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON DOCTOR OF BILLIARDS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON ERASMUS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON |
