FACES, by REBECCA FUSFELD First Line: There is no more pathetic sort Last Line: Its pathos grieves an unknown lord. Subject(s): Emotions; Faces | ||||||||
There is no more pathetic sort Than faces blindly seeking sport. A face to all emotions cool Except amusement's spinning pool; A face whose aimless step betrays Assembled nights and restless days; A face with selfishness so bored Its pathos grieves an unknown Lord. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHEN WE LOOK UP by DENISE LEVERTOV HISTORY OF MY FACE by KHALED MATTAWA WOMAN IN FRONT OF POSTER OF HERSELF by ALICE NOTLEY THE HOUSE OF DUST: 1 by CONRAD AIKEN LOOKING AT AGING FACES by ROBERT BLY WHAT MAKES THIS STATUE NOBLE SEEMING by KENNETH KOCH |
