TO THE FRENCH POETS OF TO-DAY by JOHN GOULD FLETCHER

First Line: DEATH-AGONIES, DANCES, RESURRECTIONS HURLED
Last Line: HANGING EACH INSTANT ON A SINGLE BREATH.
Subject(s): POETRY & POETS - FRENCH;

Death-agonies, dances, resurrections hurled
Have made for me, and made for you, a world:
With the red lava-torrents of the suns
Drunken, we dance yet to the rain's dark drums,
And watch the universe, life, birth, and death,
Hanging each instant on a single breath.
