LOST THREADS, by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Here lie the lost threads of a tangled life Last Line: Else were I eloquent of thee and these. Subject(s): Life | ||||||||
HERE lie the lost threads of a tangled life, Enigmas meaningless and without clue, Loose ends and knots, frayed edges of time's strife, Essays in vain love ignorant of you. Not so had my life been had Heaven's high blue Apparelled us betimes in its romance, Clothed us with one fair passion chaste and true, Armed my weak soul with your dear countenance. Rage of my heart! How idly I declaim, Now knowing your delights and sweetnesses, Empty sad verse engarlanding your name. Great griefs are silent as the wide lone seas; Irrevocable loss lives bare of fame. Else were I eloquent of thee and these. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRIVILEGE OF BEING by ROBERT HASS SEAWATER STIFFENS CLOTH by JANE HIRSHFIELD SAYING YES TO LIVING by DAVID IGNATOW THE WORLD IS SO DIFFICULT TO GIVE UP by DAVID IGNATOW ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 50 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 51 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 110.
