PORCELAIN VASE, by GAMALIEL BRADFORD First Line: Her love was like a porcelain vase Last Line: And rather more for use. Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
Her love was like a porcelain vase That any touch would crack: You felt as if an ardent gaze Would take her quite aback. I am not quick to strike a blow, Nor careless in abuse; But still I like them less for show, And rather more for use. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD |
