TO THE UNKNOWN EROS: BOOK 1: 12. MAGNA EST VERITAS, by COVENTRY KERSEY DIGHTON PATMORE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Here, in this little bay Last Line: When none cares whether it prevail or not. Subject(s): Truth | |||
Here, in this little Bay, Full of tumultuous life and great repose, Where, twice a day, The purposeless, glad ocean comes and goes, Under high cliffs, and far from the huge town, I sit me down. For want of me the world's course will not fail, When all its work is done, the lie shall rot; The truth is great, and shall prevail, When none cares whether it prevail or not. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INCLINED TO SPEAK by LAWRENCE JOSEPH WHAT IS TRUTH? by JOHN BOWRING EVERYTHING THAT ACTS IS ACTUAL by DENISE LEVERTOV LYING MY HEAD OFF by CATE MARVIN TRUTH SERUM by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE |
