THE ANGEL IN THE HOUSE: BOOK 2. CANTO 1. PRELUDE. PERSCEPTIVE by COVENTRY KERSEY DIGHTON PATMORE

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHAT SEEMS TO US FOR US IS TRUE
Last Line: NO PRIMAL STAR IS HALF SO BRIGHT.

What seems to us for us is true.
The planet has no proper light,
And yet, when Venus is in view,
No primal star is half so bright.
