IN THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Within the tiny pantheon Last Line: To find the present with a kiss. Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. Subject(s): Metropolitan Museum Of Art, New York | |||
Within the tiny Pantheon We stood together silently, Leaving the restless crowd awhile As ships find shelter from the sea. The ancient centuries came back To cover us a moment's space, And thro' the dome the light was glad Because it shone upon your face. Ah, not from Rome but farther still, Beyond sun-smitten Salamis, The moment took us, till you stooped To find the present with a kiss. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I HAVE SEEN THE SPRING' by SARA TEASDALE A LITTLE WHILE by SARA TEASDALE A MINUET OF MOZART'S by SARA TEASDALE A WINTER BLUEJAY by SARA TEASDALE |
