WOOD WITCHERY, by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON Poet's Biography First Line: The way ran under boughs of checkered green Last Line: Unaging beauty by another name. Subject(s): Beauty; Hearts; Nature; New England; Nymphs; Poetry & Poets | |||
THE way ran under boughs of checkered green Where live things stirred, and sweet lights glinted through, And airs were cool and scented; well I knew It was New England, but this fresh demesne Was full of fabled folk no eye hath seen, Yet every poet's heart must take for true: Dryads and hamadryads, satyrs too, And fountain-nymphs, and trolls of freakish mien. Then, like a flash, the oneness of the world Broke on me; mythland was not here or there, But wheresoe'er shy Fancy had unfurled Her wings, perceiving Nature young and fair; New England spelled but Arcady, the same Unaging beauty by another name. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
