CORDAY, by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Hearts must not sink at seeing law lie dead Last Line: His line in thee. Subject(s): Corday, Charlotte (1768-1793) | |||
Hearts must not sink at seeing Law lie dead; No, Corday, no; Else Justice had not crown'd in heaven thy head Profaned below. Three women France hath borne, each greater far Than all her men, And greater many were than any are At sword or pen. Corneille, the first among Gaul's rhymer race Whose soul was free, Descends from his high station, proud to trace His line in thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FRAGMENT, SUPPOSED TO EPITHALAMIUM OF RAVAILLAC AND CORDAY by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY CHARLOTTE CORDAY; A MEMOIR OF A HAND by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER CHARLOTTE CORDAY by ROBERT LOVEMAN A FIESOLAN IDYL by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR A FOREIGN RULER by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR A PROPHECY by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR CHILDREN by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR CORINNA TO TANAGRA, FROM ATHENS by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR DEATH OF THE DAY by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR |
