SPRING FANTASIES: 6. AS FLUTES OF ARCADY, by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON Poet's Biography First Line: The purity of water and the peace Last Line: And hero-deeds along a hundred hills! Subject(s): Beauty; Children; Dreams; Poetry & Poets; Truth; Water; Childhood; Nightmares | ||||||||
THE purity of water and the peace Of wind-still air: the placid scent of pines, Warming my heart as with the waft of wines; The murmuring of hidden brooks, the fleece Of foam-topped rivers, and the splendid space Of sky above, with all its interlace Of blue and white and gold, -- Oh, these to me Do plead as plead the flutes of Arcady, Bidding my sorry stressfulness to cease. For then I take for truth the poet's dream: There's naught in all the world save only good; Little, fair children, love no parting kills, Romance through the tree-branches soft agleam, Beauty that lies await by field and wood, And hero-deeds along a hundred hills! | Other Poems of Interest...THE BOOK OF A THOUSAND EYES: A DREAM by LYN HEJINIAN VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
