PURIFICATION, by JOHN BANISTER TABB Poet's Biography First Line: From flame to snow Last Line: Wherever he may go. Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb Subject(s): Religion; Theology | ||||||||
From flame to snow -- E'en so Must all perfection flow. Each pure desire Is fledged with fire And needs must grow From dark to light, Till, passion past, Transfigured in its flight, It stand at last Unblushing on the topmost height With sister souls in white, To follow still the Lamb Wherever He may go. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY ANONYMOUS by JOHN BANISTER TABB |
