PALLADIUMS, by CARL SANDBURG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: In the newspaper office - who are the spooks? Last Line: Speak easy -- the sacred cows must be fed. Subject(s): Newspapers; Journalism; Journalists | |||
IN the newspaper office -- who are the spooks? Who wears the mythic coat invisible? Who pussyfoots from desk to desk with a speaking forefinger? Who gumshoes amid the copy paper with a whispering thumb? Speak softly -- the sacred cows may hear. Speak easy -- the sacred cows must be fed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CIRCULATION OF NEWSPAPERS RISES GREATLY IN TIME OF WAR by EVE MERRIAM IT IS DANGEROUS TO READ NEWSPAPERS by MARGARET ATWOOD METAMORPHOSES: 3.
