UNREALITY, by MERCEDES DE ACOSTA Poet's Biography First Line: Through the window-pane I see your face Last Line: Like a mist upon a lonely sea. Subject(s): Errors; Mistakes; Fallacies | |||
Through the window-pane I see your face, Its outline a little vague In the dimness of the shadow. But the whiteness of your skin Is like a clean ship's sail, With the rays of a thousand moonbeams sweeping over Standing out in the darkness of a night. And your eyes, I see them like two golden bowls, them. As I pass out into the blackness, I wonder if I have ever really known you -- Or if you exist at all, And are not but a twisted, fevered, silver creation of my brain. And the unreality of you comes over me, Like a mist upon a lonely sea. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AGAINST EXCESS OF SEA OR SUN OR REASON by WILLIAM MEREDITH LIVING WITH MISTAKES by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE A MORTIFYING MISTAKE by ANNA MARIA PRATT THE MISTAKE by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE DISILLUSION by GLADYS CROMWELL MUSOPHILUS: DEDICATION TO MASTER FULKE GREVILLE (2) by SAMUEL DANIEL TO DELIA: 46 (2) by SAMUEL DANIEL FAULTS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES TO J.
