THOSE WORDS WERE UTTERED AS IN PENSIVE MOOD, by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: Nor they from it: their fellowship is secure Subject(s): Thought | ||||||||
''"'''they are of the sky, And from our earthly memory fade away.''' Those words were uttered as in pensive mood We turned, departing from that solemn sight: A contrast and reproach to gross delight, And life's unspiritual pleasures daily wooed! But now upon this thought I cannot brood; It is unstable as a dream of night; Nor will I praise a cloud, however bright, Disparaging Man's gifts, and proper food. Grove, isle, with every shape of sky-built dome, Though clad in colours beautiful and pure, Find in the heart of man no natural home: The immortal Mind craves objects that endure: These cleave to it; from these it cannot roam, Nor they from it: their fellowship is secure. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LIFE OF TOWNS: THOMAS TOWN by ANNE CARSON MILLE ET UN SENTIMENTS (PREMIERS CENTS) by DENISE DUHAMEL IT IS THE THINKING by ANSELM HOLLO SUNDAY AFTERNOON by CLARENCE MAJOR A JEWISH FAMILY; IN A SMALL VALLEY OPPOSITE ST.
