PALLAS GOES IN GRAY, by MINNIE FAEGRE KNOX Poet's Biography First Line: Once I knew Last Line: I can never be glad. Subject(s): Life | ||||||||
Once I knew That white was white, And black was black. ThenLife was as gay As the flowering broom: And my heart was light. OrLife was somber As the sealed-up tomb: In my heart was night. Now I know That black is gray ... Silvery-pearl, twilight cloud: I need never be sad. And I know That white is gray ... Smoke-drab pearl, misty shroud: I can never be glad. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRIVILEGE OF BEING by ROBERT HASS SEAWATER STIFFENS CLOTH by JANE HIRSHFIELD SAYING YES TO LIVING by DAVID IGNATOW THE WORLD IS SO DIFFICULT TO GIVE UP by DAVID IGNATOW BRIGHT BEADS by MINNIE FAEGRE KNOX |
