UNSEEN BUDS, by WALT WHITMAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Unseen buds, infinite, hidden well Last Line: And waiting ever more, forever more behind. Subject(s): Religion; Theology | ||||||||
Unseen buds, infinite, hidden well, Under the snow and ice, under the darkness, in every square or cubic inch, Germinal, exquisite, in delicate lace, microscopic, unborn, Like babes in wombs, latent, folded, compact, sleeping; Billions of billions, and trillions of trillions of them waiting, (On earth and in the sea -- the universe -- the stars there in the heavens,) Urging slowly, surely forward, forming endless, And waiting ever more, forever more behind. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY A BROADWAY PAGEANT by WALT WHITMAN |
