TWO MEN, by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: There be two men of all mankind Last Line: Melchizedek, ucalegon. | ||||||||
There be two men of all mankind That I should like to know about; But search and question where I will, I cannot ever find them out. Melchizedek, he praised the Lord, And gave some wine to Abraham; But who can tell what else he did Must be more learned that I am. Ucalegon, he lost his house When Agamemnon came to Troy; But who can tell me who he was -- I'll pray the gods to give him joy. There be two men of all mankind That I'm forever thinking on: The chase me wherever I go, Melchizedek, Ucalegon. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AN EVANGELIST'S WIFE by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON AN ISLAND (SAINT HELENA, 1821) by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON ANOTHER DARK LADY by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON BALLADE OF DEAD FRIENDS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON CAPUT MORTUUM by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON CHARLES CARVILLE'S EYES by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON CORTEGE by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON DEMOS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON DOCTOR OF BILLIARDS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON ERASMUS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON |
