FRAGMENTS (1) by GEORGE MEREDITH

Poet Analysis

First Line: LOVE IS WINGED FOR TWO
Last Line: FOR THAT THEN SO WINGED WERE WE.
Subject(s): LOVE - LOSS OF;
LOVE is winged for two,
In the worst he weathers,
When their hearts are tied;
But if they divide,
O too true!
Cracks a globe, and feathers, feathers,
Feathers all the ground bestrew.

I was breast of morning sea,
Rosy plume on forest dun,
I the laugh in rainy fleeces,
While with me
She made one.
Now must we pick up our pieces,
For that then so winged were we.
