ATTAINMENT, by ELLA WHEELER WILCOX Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Use all your hidden forces. Do not miss Last Line: Material things must answer and obey. Alternate Author Name(s): Wilson, Robert, Mrs. Subject(s): Materialism; Religion; Worship; Theology | ||||||||
Use all your hidden forces. Do not miss The purpose of this life, and do not wait For circumstance to mold or change your fate. In your own self lies destiny. Let this Vast truth cast out all fear, all prejudice, All hesitation. Know that you are great, Great with divinity. So dominate Environment, and enter into bliss. Love largely and hate nothing. Hold no aim That does not chord with universal good. Hear what the voices of the silence say, All joys are yours if you put forth your claim, Once let the spiritual laws be understood, Material things must answer and obey. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES |
