AID OF THE MADONNA, by MINA LOY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Madonnas are everlastingly mothers in ecstasy Last Line: Under flowers of fire Alternate Author Name(s): Cravan, Arthur, Mrs.; Lowy, Mina Gertrude; Haweis, Stephen, Mrs. | ||||||||
Madonnas are everlastingly mothers in ecstasy. Their alcove arms retire the Felicity of their conception from eld and the disorderliness of peril, reproving harm. Madonnas are aeon-moments of motherhood -a moment is Time surrounded by itself- in perpetuation of the beatitude, their attitude of smiling havens, of sacred selves. Omitted omen of Calvary! Uncarved Crucifixion! Madonnas are islands in memory for earthly mothers, who having begotten, in early security, heroes of the skies, on forsaken knees crave for a moment it be forgotten that skies once ovational with celestial oboes for the Heavenly Celebrities are skies in clamor of deathly celerities, the horror of diving obituaries under flowers of fire. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ITALIAN PICTURES: JULY IN VALLOMBROSA by MINA LOY ITALIAN PICTURES: THE COSTA SAN GIORGIO by MINA LOY LOVE SONGS TO JOANNES by MINA LOY THREE MOMENTS IN PARIS: 1.
