DIVING, by CHARLOTTE BRONTE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Look into thought and say what dost thou see Last Line: The spirit lay dreadless and hopeless beneath.' Alternate Author Name(s): Bell, Currer Subject(s): Thought; Diving & Divers; Thinking | |||
Look into thought and say what dost thou see; Dive, be not fearful how dark the waves flow; Sing through the surge, and bring pearls up to me; Deeper, ay, deeper; the fairest lie low. 'I have dived, I have sought them, but none have I found; In the gloom that closed o'er me no form floated by; As I sank through the void depths, so black and profound, How dim died the sun and how far hung the sky! 'What had I given to hear the soft sweep Of a breeze bearing life through that vast realm of death! Thoughts were untroubled and dreams were asleep: The spirit lay dreadless and hopeless beneath.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MILLE ET UN SENTIMENTS (PREMIERS CENTS) by DENISE DUHAMEL SUNDAY AFTERNOON by CLARENCE MAJOR I BROOD ABOUT SOME CONCEPTS, FOR EXAMPLE by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER EASY LESSONS IN GEOPHAGY by KENNETH REXROTH GENTLEMEN, I ADDRESS YOU PUBLICLY by KENNETH REXROTH ON FLOWER WREATH HILL: 1 by KENNETH REXROTH |
