LINES AFTER ELIZABETH BARRETT by EDGAR ALLAN POE

Poet Analysis

First Line: HEAR THE FAR GENERATIONS -- HOW THEY CRASH
Last Line: IN THE VISIONARY HILLS!
Subject(s): BROWNING, ELIZABETH BARRETT (1806-1861);

Hear the far generations -- how they crash
From crag to crag down the precipitous Time,
In multitudinous thunders that upstartle
Aghast, the echoes from their cavernous lairs
In the visionary hills!
