AS A MOULD FOR SOME FAIR FORM, by EDWARD CARPENTER Poet's Biography First Line: As a mould for some fair form Last Line: Beholdest—what thou art not. Subject(s): Models; Plaster Casts | |||
AS a mould for some fair form is made of plaster, and then when it is made and the form is cast therein, the plaster is broken and flung aside— So, and for a form fairer than aught thou canst imagine, thy body, thy intellect, thy pursuits and accomplishments, and all that thou dost now call thyself, Are the mould which in time will have to be broken and flung aside. Their outlines are the inverse of thy true form: looking on them thou beholdest—what thou art not. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE STUPID OLD BODY by EDWARD CARPENTER TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: AFTER LONG AGES by EDWARD CARPENTER TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 1 by EDWARD CARPENTER TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 2.
