THE BLACK RIDERS: 29, by STEPHEN CRANE Poet Analysis
First Line: Behold, from the land of the farther suns
Last Line: "this was your home."
First Line: Behold, from the land of the farther suns
Last Line: "this was your home."
Behold, from the land of the farther suns
I returned.
And I was in a reptile-swarming place,
Peopled, otherwise, with grimaces,
Shrouded above in black impenetrableness.
I shrank, loathing,
Sick with it.
And I said to him,
"What is this?"
He made answer slowly,
"Spirit, this is a world;
This was your home."
