LINES TO A LADY, by BERNICE SWANSON First Line: If greater art should meet his gaze Last Line: More sweet than his can ever be. Subject(s): Admiration; Women | ||||||||
If greater art should meet his gaze His feet would falter in amaze; So when she walks with gentle grace, Terpsichore must hide his face. And when she speaks, Aeolus harks And stills the music of the harps To list to molten melody More sweet than his can ever be. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARISTOTLE TO PHYLLIS by JOHN HOLLANDER A WOMAN'S DELUSION by SUSAN HOWE JULIA TUTWILER STATE PRISON FOR WOMEN by ANDREW HUDGINS THE WOMEN ON CYTHAERON by ROBINSON JEFFERS TOMORROW by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD LADIES FOR DINNER, SAIPAN by KENNETH KOCH GOODBYE TO TOLERANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV |
