SEEST thou me pass—swift with my angels out of heaven propelled— All stars and lightning in a fluid train? Seest thou me pass, I say? His brows, the Lord's, in heaven are glorious; His eyes give light there, fashioning and beholding rapt all forms divine; His mighty loins are plunged in night and shadow. And I— I am the lightning of the generations through them, Seed of the worlds to be. He is the Lord, in moment of creation, fixed everlasting, The Universe entire—or little flower starred in ecstasy; And I, orgasmic, fierce, His swift deliverance.

From heaven down into chaos seest thou me pass, I say?] | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: AMI GREEN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS DEAD COW FARM by ROBERT RANKE GRAVES THE CHURCH WINDOWS by GEORGE HERBERT GEORGE MOSES HORTON, MYSELF by GEORGE MOSES HORTON TWO RED ROSES ACROSS THE MOON by WILLIAM MORRIS (1834-1896) REUBEN JAMES by JAMES JEFFREY ROCHE DAUGHTERS OF WAR by ISAAC ROSENBERG |
