THE WORLD APPROVES, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: The shade and colour of her eyes can wait Last Line: And the world approves of dinah and my choice. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Beauty | ||||||||
The shade and colour of her eyes can wait, It is the light of love that matters there; But the spider's threads that catch the morning's pearls, All for the Sun, could make no finer hair. Our milk-fed kitten has no warmer skin, My neighbour's pigeon has no softer voice; Our black-mouthed puppy has no whiter teeth -- And the world approves of Dinah and my choice. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN DIVINELY SUPERFLUOUS BEAUTY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS LIFE FROM THE LIFELESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS REARMAMENT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SHANE ONEILLS CAIRN by ROBINSON JEFFERS A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
