THE MEASURE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: MEN, BY THEIR GLANCES, ARE MASTERS OR SLAVES.
Subject(s): SOCIAL COMMENTARY; RELATIONSHIPS;
Fierce is the conflict—the battle of eyes,
Sure and unerring, the wordless replies,
Challenges flash from their ambushing caves—
Men, by their glances, are masters or slaves.
