NORTHERN EARTH MOOD, by WILLIAM HERVEY ALLEN JR. Poet Analysis First Line: Vision the sun and stars Last Line: Shows the working of fingers. Alternate Author Name(s): Allen, Hervey Subject(s): Earth; Sun; World | |||
Vision the sun and stars, The gold-faced central sun, Wandering like glittering Apollo With the planet muses Across the star-enamelled fields of space. Spy out the tilting ice-tipped Earth, Curving through nothingness, Dogged by her blue void-shadow. Look from the eyes in the astonished mask Of the beardless and purse-mouthed moon, At the merging and melting of moods On the face of the northern hemisphere. The hand is in the glove Which is clasped by suns And buttoned by the Earth, Yet the wrinkling of matter Shows the working of fingers. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BROKEN BALANCE by ROBINSON JEFFERS SUBJECTED EARTH by ROBINSON JEFFERS GEOMETAPHYSICS by MARGARET AVISON NIAGARA by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS SOPHISTICATION by CONRAD AIKEN I SEE CHILE IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR by AGHA SHAHID ALI WASHING OUR HANDS OF THE REST OF AMERICA by MARVIN BELL THE EARTH IS A LIVING THING by LUCILLE CLIFTON BLACK ROSES by WILLIAM HERVEY ALLEN JR. |
