THE Nerves are France, and Italy, and Spain; The Liver Britain, the Narrow Sea each Vein; The Spleen is Aethiopia, wherein Is bred a people of black and tawny skin; The Stomach is like Aegypt, and the Chyle, Which through the body flows, is as the Nile; The Head and Heart both Indies are; each Ear Doth like the South and Northern Poles appear; The Lungs are rocks and caverns, whence rise winds, Where Life, which passes through, great danger finds. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON TALK OF PEACE AT THIS TIME by ROBERT FROST I SING OF LOVE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO ATLANTA UNIVERSITY - ITS FOUNDERS AND TEACHERS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE CRESCENT MOON by AMY LOWELL |
