BALLATETTA, by EZRA POUND Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The light became her grace and dwelt among Last Line: Lest they should parch too swiftly, where she passes. Subject(s): Sex | |||
The light became her grace and dwelt among Blind eyes and shadows that are formed as men; Lo, how the light doth melt us into song: The broken sunlight for a healm she beareth Who hath my heart in jurisdiction. In wild-wood never fawn nor fallow fareth So silent light; no gossamer is spun So delicate as she is, when the sun Drives the clear emeralds from the bended grasses Lest they should parch too swiftly, where she passes. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LIE DOWN WITH A MAN by TONY HOAGLAND ARISTOTLE TO PHYLLIS by JOHN HOLLANDER PORTRAIT WITH BROWN HAIR by DONALD JUSTICE NATIONAL NUDIST CLUB NEWSLETTER by WAYNE KOESTENBAUM BLACKOUT SONNETS by JOAN LARKIN |
