MATE (2), by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Out of the countless teeming throng Last Line: A haunting memory. Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John Subject(s): Love; Memory; Women | |||
Out of the countless teeming throng Of women sweetly fair Is one, just one alone, who stands Undimmed and shining there. There may have been no lover's tryst No touch of pulsing hand But there are surges in the soul The heart may understand. Perhaps you saw her in the rush Of by-gone yesterday ... In each man's life one woman is A haunting memory. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARISTOTLE TO PHYLLIS by JOHN HOLLANDER A WOMAN'S DELUSION by SUSAN HOWE JULIA TUTWILER STATE PRISON FOR WOMEN by ANDREW HUDGINS THE WOMEN ON CYTHAERON by ROBINSON JEFFERS TOMORROW by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD LADIES FOR DINNER, SAIPAN by KENNETH KOCH GOODBYE TO TOLERANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV OLD BLACK MEN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
