A CALM, by GEORGE SANTAYANA Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: When the towering heights of the middle heavens Last Line: Sky, mountains, and landscape remove. Subject(s): Landscape | ||||||||
When the towering heights of the middle heavens Deep down in the ocean appear, How pleasant to see the great summer clouds Reflect in the water so clear. There are trees above, There are trees below, Huge rocks and sloping hills; And another Sun with its mellow glow The pictured landscape fills. The deep, silent mountains beneath the calm wave Uphold their companions above. Until hurrying winds from the breezy west Sky, mountains, and landscape remove. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE PLACE FOR NO STORY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS VARIATIONS ON A NEO-CLASSIC THEME by DONALD JUSTICE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS KENNST DU DAS LAND by LEONIE ADAMS INVITATION TO A PAINTER: 3 by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM SONNET: 19.
