AUX IMAGISTES, by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I think I have never been so exalted Last Line: Shall not endure for ever. Subject(s): Flowers | ||||||||
I think I have never been so exalted As I am now by you, O frost bitten blossoms, That are unfolding your wings From out the envious black branches. Bloom quickly and make much of the sunshine. The twigs conspire against you! Hear them! They hold you from behind! You shall not take wing Except wing by wing, brokenly, And yet -- Even they Shall not endure for ever. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THEY SAW THE PROBLEM by MARK JARMAN SHAKE THE SUPERFLUX! by DAVID LEHMAN THE M??TIER OF BLOSSOMING by DENISE LEVERTOV TANKA DIARY (6) by HARRYETTE MULLEN VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN A CELEBRATION by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS |
