A TAPESTRY, by PERCY STICKNEY GRANT Poet's Biography
First Line: Love met medusa on the libyan plains
Last Line: Red roses burst in bloom. Love laughing fled.
First Line: Love met medusa on the libyan plains
Last Line: Red roses burst in bloom. Love laughing fled.
Love met Medusa on the Libyan plains,
Whose serpent locks dart death at them that see.
"Ah, boy," she cried, "the cause of all my pains,
At last sweet vengeance I can wreak on thee."
Love looked nor faltered at her horrid gaze.
She tore her hissing hair to strike him dead;
But where her wild blows fell, to her amaze,
Red roses burst in bloom. Love laughing fled.
