THE UNCHANGING, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Sun-swept beaches with a light wind blowing Last Line: The heart aches now as then Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs. Subject(s): Grief; Sorrow; Sadness | |||
Sun-swept beaches with a light wind blowing From the immense blue circle of the sea, And the soft thunder where long waves whiten, These were the same for Sappho as for me. Two thousand years, much has gone by forever, Change takes the gods and ships and speech of men, But here on the beaches that time passes over The heart aches now as then. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS |
