THY DREAMS OMINOUS, by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Blest is the man that sees and hears Last Line: Through timeless orgies. Alternate Author Name(s): Blunden, Edmund | |||
Blest is the man that sees and hears The shuttles of the eternal weaver,' And shrieks not, sobs not savage tears, Burns not with fever. He is a tree that's firmly planted Where a plunging cataract blanches, Spreading there as though enchanted His lucky branches. But what if I, whose different thews Scarce bear the dawning light unwincing, Discovered in some curious clues Vision commencing? I should be driftwood, moon and sun In gulping, groaning water-gorges Sucked down, shot high, and snatched and spun Through timeless orgies. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOREFATHERS by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN REPORT ON EXPERIENCE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN SOLUTIONS by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THE GIANT PUFFBALL by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THE MIDNIGHT SKATERS by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN VLAMERTINGHE: PASSING THE CHATEAU, JULY 1917 by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN 11TH R.S.R. by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN 1916 SEEN FROM 1921 by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN A 'FIRST IMPRESSION': TOKYO by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN A BRIDGE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
