A FLOWER-PIECE BY FANTIN, by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Heart's ease or pansy, pleasure or thought Last Line: Heart's ease. Subject(s): Flowers; Hearts; Roundels | ||||||||
HEART'S EASE or pansy, pleasure or thought, Which would the picture give us of these? Surely the heart that conceived it sought Heart's ease. Surely by glad and divine degrees The heart impelling the hand that wrought Wrought comfort here for a soul's disease, Deep flowers, with lustre and darkness fraught, From glass that gleams as the chill still seas Lean and lend for a heart distraught Heart's ease. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROUNDELS OF THE YEAR by JOHN DRINKWATER RONDEL OF A RONDEL by AUSTIN PHILIPS A ROUNDEL SEEMS TO FIT A ROUND OF DAYS by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BABY'S DEATH by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE A DIALOGUE: 1. by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE A DIALOGUE: 2. by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE A DIALOGUE: 3. by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE A LANDSCAPE BY COURBET by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE A NIGHT-PIECE BY MILLET by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE A BALLAD OF DEATH by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE |
