CLOUD-LIFE, by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Look with what titan majesty arise Last Line: Their single songs, and full-quired eloquence. Alternate Author Name(s): Blunden, Edmund Subject(s): Clouds | ||||||||
LOOK with what Titan majesty arise Those sunset shapes, and indolently swift Pursue a mighty journey through the skies; How like embodying thoughts they sway and lift And intervolve awhile, dislimn and cleave, Rivals and friends! each kin, and each alone. They give their genius and again receive, One glory of rich union marches on. So calmly flows the ocean air, so clear The sight has grown, that those bright vapours gleam Like souls, their rosy bodies move in a dream And wish intelligent; they draw most near, About to speak, to music their god-sense, Their single songs, and full-quired eloquence. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PRESENCES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE CLOUDHERD'S SONG by ROBERT KELLY THE IMPRESSMENT by WILLIAM MEREDITH THE CLOUDS ABOVE THE OCEAN by STEPHEN DOBYNS THE SACHEM OF THE CLOUDS (A THANKSGIVING LEGEND) by ROBERT FROST A PORTRAIT OF MY ROOF by JAMES GALVIN ABOVE AND WITHIN by DAVID IGNATOW ALMSWOMEN by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
