OCTAVES IN AN OXFORD GARDEN: 22, by ARTHUR W. UPSON Poet's Biography First Line: Thus friendship. As a sacred citadel Last Line: Whose sources only at that altar dwell. Subject(s): Friendship | ||||||||
Thus Friendship. As a sacred citadel Above the hurrying crowd of men it towers; There in or sun or frost, or shine or showers, Invites to worship with no beating bell This world's a city, and it loves full well The mid-street sanctuary that is ours Whither to steal away renewing powers Whose sources only at that Altar dwell. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...YOU & I BELONG IN THIS KITCHEN by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JASON THE REAL by TONY HOAGLAND NO RESURRECTION by ROBINSON JEFFERS CHAMBER MUSIC: 17 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 18 by JAMES JOYCE THE STONE TABLE by GALWAY KINNELL ALMSWOMAN by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN TO AN ENEMY by MAXWELL BODENHEIM SONNET: 10.
