FRIENDSHIP'S BLACK AND WHITE, by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Romance is writ for me with many names Last Line: Named with one name that needs not be afraid. Subject(s): Friendship | |||
ROMANCE is writ for me with many names Of fair loved faces, each page a design Blazoned and tinctured, this with saffron flames Enshrining fancy, that with opaline Rays of mad hopes, half sunlight, half moonshine, This last with the sole gold of passionate blames Enjoyed and harvested and made divine By Love's long memory far outlasting Fame's. —Leave it untouched, the rose-sweet manuscript. Youth lies asleep in it, its spellbound knight. Turn not the leaves lest he should wake dismayed. This page alone stands open, unequipped Of any hue save friendship's black and white, Named with one name that needs not be afraid. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...YOU & I BELONG IN THIS KITCHEN by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JASON THE REAL by TONY HOAGLAND NO RESURRECTION by ROBINSON JEFFERS CHAMBER MUSIC: 17 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 18 by JAMES JOYCE THE STONE TABLE by GALWAY KINNELL ALMSWOMAN by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN TO AN ENEMY by MAXWELL BODENHEIM SONNET: 10.
