TO SAMUEL COLERIDGE UPON HEARING HIS 'SOME I FEEL LIKE A MOTHERLESS..', by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Strange to a sensing motherhood Last Line: Seeking the breast of an unknown face. Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John Subject(s): Coleridge, Samuel Taylor (1772-1834); Mothers; Poetry & Poets | |||
Strange to a sensing motherhood, Loved as a toy—not understood, Child of a dusky father, bold; Frail little captive, exiled, cold. Oft when the brooding planets sleep, You through their drowsy empires creep, Flinging your arms through their empty space, Seeking the breast of an unknown face. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
