THE RETURN TO NATURE; HISTORIES OF MODERN POETRY: 2. THETIS by ALICE MEYNELL

Poet Analysis

First Line: IN HER BRIGHT TITLE POETS DARE
Last Line: HER NATURAL, GREEK, AND SILVER FEET.
Subject(s): POETRY & POETS; WORDSWORTH, WILLIAM (1770-1850);

In her bright title poets dare
What the wild eye of fancy sees --
Similitude -- the clear, the fair
Light mystery of images.

Round the blue sea I love the best
The argent foam played, slender, fleet;
I saw -- past Wordsworth and the rest --
Her natural, Greek, and silver feet.
