DREAM ENCONTERS, by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The measureless houses of dreams Last Line: And all heaven with one heart. Alternate Author Name(s): Blunden, Edmund Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares | ||||||||
THE measureless houses of dreams, And the magic of hours within hours; And those who pass by like clear streams, Pass by us, on a journey not ours! The eyes that we know and we fear, As waters of Castaly clear, That gaze that should once have been sweet, Now a terror to meet! -- Yet, both in one corridor narrowly led, Those steps in another intensity tread; There is space that convenes us, but holds us apart; Sunlight and sunlight, distinctly combined, As a wish with the wind And all heaven with one heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS ALMSWOMEN by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
