THE BLIND GOD, by ISAAC ROSENBERG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Streaked with immortal blasphemies
Last Line: You have streaked with blasphemy?
Subject(s): God
First Line: Streaked with immortal blasphemies
Last Line: You have streaked with blasphemy?
Subject(s): God
Streaked with immortal blasphemies,
Betwixt His twin eternities
The Shaper of mortal destinies
Sits in that limbo of dreamless sleep,
Some nothing that hath shadows deep.
The world is only a small pool
In the meadows of Eternity,
And men like fishes lying cool;
And the wise man and the fool
In its depths like fishes lie.
When an angel drops a rod
And he draws you to the sky
Will you bear to meet your God
You have streaked with blasphemy?
