ANALYZE LOVE, by ISABEL FISKE CONANT First Line: Analyze passion; it resolves to this Last Line: And still once more return to earthly pain. Subject(s): Love - Nature Of | |||
Analyze passion; it resolves to this: A wild-rose, salty-wet with windy spray. Heart-on-the-sleeve and rhyming with a kiss Whose idyl lasted only for a day, Whose lyric may live longer on the lips, And if well-sung, within the hearts of others, Yet nothing more than the flood-tide that slips Over high-water-mark in breaker-smothers. Analyze love ... and you have something more Than ever chemist in his laboratory, Precipitated into golden ore Or Chaucer or Boccacio into story. For that alembic dare to death again And still once more return to earthly pain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RESCUE THE DEAD by DAVID IGNATOW BUTTERFLIES UNDER PERSIMMON by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 27 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 30 by JAMES JOYCE HE WHO KNOWS LOVE by ELSA BARKER LOVE'S HUMBLENESS by ELSA BARKER |
