CHAMBER MUSIC: 22, by JAMES JOYCE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Of that so sweet imprisonment Last Line: Where soul with soul lies prisoned. Subject(s): Sleep; Love | |||
Of that so sweet imprisonment My soul, dearest, is fain -- - Soft arms that woo me to relent And woo me to detain. Ah, could they ever hold me there Gladly were I a prisoner! Dearest, through interwoven arms By love made tremulous, That night allures me where alarms Nowise may trouble us; But sleep to dreamier sleep be wed Where soul with soul lies prisoned. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD CHAMBER MUSIC: 7 by JAMES JOYCE A MEMORY OF THE PLAYERS IN A MIRROR AT MIDNIGHT by JAMES JOYCE |
