WOMAN AND ARTIST, by ALICE WILLIAMS BROTHERTON Poet's Biography First Line: I thought to win me a name Last Line: With its lips against my breast. Subject(s): Mothers | ||||||||
I THOUGHT to win me a name-- Should ring in the ear of the world-- How can I work with small pink fists About my fingers curled? Then adieu to name and to fame. They scarce are worth at the best One touch of this wet little, warm little mouth, With its lips against my breast. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY MOTHER'S HANDS by ANDREW HUDGINS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS IN THE 25TH YEAR OF MY MOTHER'S DEATH by JUDY JORDAN THE PAIDLIN' WEAN by ALEXANDER ANDERSON BLASTING FROM HEAVEN by PHILIP LEVINE MY ENEMY by ALICE WILLIAMS BROTHERTON |
