ACROSS THE INTERVALE, by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON Poet's Biography First Line: Along life's lowlands, petty men Last Line: Like peaks across an intervale. Subject(s): Creative Ability; Life; Sky; Soul; Inspiration; Creativity | ||||||||
ALONG Life's lowlands, petty men Mix in a crowd with thoughts earth-tied And sympathies too narrow-eyed To peer beyond their little Then. They walk their ways, all unaware Of folk-moots in the upper air. But, few and far between, arise Great souls who overtop the small And transient, who have range of all The inspirations of the skies; Then each to each they cry Good hail, Like peaks across an intervale. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POEM FOR JAMES WRIGHT by ROBERT BLY THE CHINESE PEAKS; FOR DONALD HALL by ROBERT BLY THE GAIETY OF FORM by ROBERT BLY WAITING FOR THE STARS by ROBERT BLY A PARIS BLACKBIRD by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR A SUNDAY DRIVE THROUGH EAGLE COUNTRY by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR FALLEN by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR GENTLY BENT TO EASE US'; FOR BILL KNOTT by NORMAN DUBIE FOR RANDALL JARRELL, 1914-1965 by NORMAN DUBIE BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON |
