IN THE VASTNESS OF A GOD, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "deathless, though godheads be dying" Last Line: "in the vastness, a god" Subject(s): God | |||
Deathless, though godheads be dying, Surviving the creeds that expire, Illogical, reason defying, Lives that passionate, primal desire; Insistent, persistent, forever Man cries to the silence, "Never Shall Death reign the lord of the soul, Shall the dust be the ultimate goal— I will storm the black bastions of Night, I will tread where my vision has trod, I will set in the darkness a light, In the vastness, a god." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOUNTAIN IS STRIPPED by DAVID IGNATOW AS CLOSE AS BREATHING by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 1 by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 13 by MARK JARMAN BIRTH-DUES by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
