WEDDED (2), by ISAAC ROSENBERG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The knotted moment that untwists Last Line: Kindness like death's have caught. Subject(s): Love - Marital; Wedded Love; Marriage - Love | |||
The knotted moment that untwists Into the narrow laws of love, Its ends are rolled round our four wrists That once could stretch and rove. See our confined fingers stray O'er delicate fibres that recoil, And blushing hints as cold as clay; Love is tired after toil. But hush! two twin moods meet in air; Two spirits of one gendered thought. Our chained hands loosened everywhere Kindness like death's have caught. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO MY WIFE by GEORGE WASHINGTON BETHUNE VARIATION ON THE WORD SLEEP by MARGARET ATWOOD IN THE MONTH OF MAY by ROBERT BLY A BALLAD OF WHITECHAPEL by ISAAC ROSENBERG |
