DEAD FIRES, by JESSIE REDMOND FAUSET Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: If this is peace, this dead and leaden thing Last Line: Than passion's death! | |||
If this is peace, this dead and leaden thing, Then better far the hateful fret, the sting. Better the wound forever seeking balm Than this gray calm! If this pain's surcease? Better far the ache, The long-drawn dreary day, the night's white wake, Better the choking sigh, the sobbing breath Than passion's death! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
