WHO WALKS WITH BEAUTY, by DAVID MORTON Poet's Biography First Line: Who walks with beauty has no need of fear Last Line: The wine of beauty and the bread he breaks. Subject(s): Beauty | ||||||||
WHO WALKS with Beauty has no need of fear; The sun and moon and stars keep pace with him; Invisible hands restore the ruined year, And time itself grows beautifully dim. One hill will keep the footprints of the moon That came and went a hushed and secret hour; One star at dusk will yield the lasting boon; Remembered beauty's white immortal flower. Who takes of Beauty wine and daily bread Will know no lack when bitter years are lean; The brimming cup is by, the feast is spread; The sun and moon and stars his eyes have seen Are for his hunger and the thirst he slakes: The wine of Beauty and the bread he breaks. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN DIVINELY SUPERFLUOUS BEAUTY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS LIFE FROM THE LIFELESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS REARMAMENT by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
