A NEW PILGRIMAGE: 24, by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: And here too I, the latest fool of time Last Line: The passionate pleader of youth's creed of pain. | |||
And here too I, the latest fool of Time, Sad child of doubt and passionate desires, Touched with all pity, yet in league with crime, Watched the red sunsets from the Alpine spires, And lit my poet's lamp with kindred fires, And dared to snatch my share of the sublime. There was one with me, master of the choirs Of eloquent thought, who listening to my rhyme, And seeing in me a soul set on things Not wholly base, although my need was sore, Bade me take courage and essay new wings. And thus it was I first beheld this shore, Mourning the loss yet half consoled of gain, The passionate pleader of youth's creed of pain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 51 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 110.
