WHITHER?, by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON Poet's Biography First Line: Through the fathomless peace of the starlight Last Line: "the ultimate rest -- shall be ""god." Alternate Author Name(s): Leigh, Arbor; Guggenberger, Mrs. Ignatz; Bevington, L. S. Subject(s): God | ||||||||
THROUGH the fathomless peace of the starlight, Through the feverish travail of mind, Through the love of the live heart within me, I search, -- and this ever I find: Totality, busy creating, Through being, the law that I see; A universe steadily working The work that shall render it free. When the patience of law universal Shall issue in mastery of law, -- When the freedom that grows of the "must be" Shall reign in its infinite awe. When virtue is lost in its issue, When sweetly hath blossomed the rod, The fruit of Totality's travail -- The ultimate rest -- shall be "GOD." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOUNTAIN IS STRIPPED by DAVID IGNATOW AS CLOSE AS BREATHING by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 1 by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 13 by MARK JARMAN BIRTH-DUES by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE SILENT SHEPHERDS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GOING TO THE HORSE FLATS by ROBINSON JEFFERS EGOISME A DEUX' by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON |
