LA SAISIAZ: PROLOGUE, by ROBERT BROWNING Poet's Biography First Line: Good, to forgive / best, to forget Last Line: Yours be the care! Subject(s): Forgetfulness | ||||||||
DEDICATED TO MRS. SUTHERLAND ORR GOOD, to forgive; Best, to forget! Living, we fret; Dying, we live. Fretless and free, Soul, clap thy pinion! Earth have dominion, Body, o'er thee! Wander at will, Day after day, -- Wander away, Wandering still -- Soul that canst soar! Body may slumber: Body shall cumber Soul-flight no more. Waft of soul's wing! What lies above? Sunshine and Love, Skyblue and Spring! Body hides -- where? Ferns of all feather, Mosses and heather, Yours be the care! | Other Poems of Interest...I PAY THE PRICE by LAWRENCE JOSEPH TWO SONNETS: 1 by DAVID LEHMAN THE MUSIC BOX by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE MUDDY KID COMES HOME by SANDRA CISNEROS FUNCTIONAL FORGETTING by STEPHEN DOBYNS SHOYN FERGESSIN: 'I'VE FORGOTTEN' IN YIDDISH by ALBERT GOLDBARTH THE GIFT TO SING by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON SINGING BACK THE WORLD by DORIANNE LAUX IT'S NOT COLD HERE by ELEANOR WILNER |
