RUBENS, by WASHINGTON ALLSTON Poet's Biography
First Line: Thus o'er his art indignant rubens reared
Last Line: Back from the shore impels the watery waste.
Subject(s): Rubens, Peter Paul (1577-1640)
First Line: Thus o'er his art indignant rubens reared
Last Line: Back from the shore impels the watery waste.
Subject(s): Rubens, Peter Paul (1577-1640)
Thus o'er his art indignant Rubens reared
His mighty head, nor critic armies feared.
His lawless style, from vain pretension free,
Impetuous rolling like a troubled sea,
High o'er the rocks of Reason's ridgy verge
Impending hangs; but, ere the foaming surge
Breaks o'er the bound, the under-ebb of taste
Back from the shore impels the watery waste.
