ESTHETIC EXPERIENCE, by ETHEL MARY DAVIS
First Line: Beauty to her was less in rough, gray thunder
Last Line: Her more articulate ashes told our blunder.
Subject(s): Beauty; Esthetics
First Line: Beauty to her was less in rough, gray thunder
Last Line: Her more articulate ashes told our blunder.
Subject(s): Beauty; Esthetics
Beauty to her was less in rough, gray thunder
Than in the little waves along the shoal;
Beauty to her was less in words than wonder,
Less wonder than a triumphing of soul.
In hourly intervals of white desire
Her body fell a prey to Beauty's plunder.
Afar, pale signals seemed her spirit's fire --
Her more articulate ashes told our blunder.
