PAN, by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Pan led me to a wood the other day Last Line: "thy gentle breath o'er pitys and her pan." Subject(s): Mythology - Classical; Pan (mythology) | ||||||||
Pan led me to a wood the other day, Then, bending both hoofs under him, where moss Was softest and where highest was the tuft, Said he, "Sit thou aside me; there is room Just for us two; the tinklers are below To catch the little birds and butterflies, Nor see us nor would heed us if they saw. I minded thee in Sicily with one I dearly love; I heard thee tell my loss Of Pitys; and he swore that none but thou Could thus contend with him, or ever should. Though others had loud lyres and struck them well, Few could bring any harmony from reeds By me held high, and higher since thou hast breath'd Thy gentle breath o'er Pitys and her Pan." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING THE DEAD PAN by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING CHANSON INNOCENTE: 1, FR.
