MEMORY AND PRIDE; IANTHE'S QUESTION by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR

Poet Analysis

First Line: DO YOU REMEMBER ME? OR ARE YOU PROUD?
Last Line: AND AT YOUR VOICE PRIDE FROM HIS THRONE MUST RISE.'

'DO you remember me? or are you proud?'
Lightly advancing thro' her star-trimm'd crowd,
Ianthe said, and look'd into my eyes.
'A yes, a yes to both: for Memory
Where you but once have been must ever be,
And at your voice Pride from his throne must rise.'
