BEAUTY, by ARTHUR PETERSON Poet's Biography First Line: The whole round of the year is filled-is built Last Line: Past souls unconscious of the wealth they bear. Subject(s): Beauty | ||||||||
The whole round of the year is filled -- is built With beauty, but so few have eyes to see Its light in all the vast variety Of appearance. Only at times when there is spilt Right down upon their souls some showy birth Of nature -- moonlit sea -- or sunset when 'Tis rich with cloudlets -- are the great levels of men Made conscious of this element on earth. The seasons' common, unobtrusive phases, The gentle days which die in temperate light, The multitudes of mornings which spring raises Far sweeter that they do not 'maze the sight, Move regularly onward, year by year, Past souls unconscious of the wealth they bear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN DIVINELY SUPERFLUOUS BEAUTY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS LIFE FROM THE LIFELESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS REARMAMENT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SHANE ONEILLS CAIRN by ROBINSON JEFFERS A CLOUD FANCY by ARTHUR PETERSON |
