JEWS, by ANONYMOUS First Line: Pride and humiliation hand in hand Last Line: They saw reflected in the coming time Subject(s): Jews;memory;tradition; Judaism | ||||||||
PRIDE and humiliation hand in hand Walked with them through the world where'er they went, Trampled and beaten were as the sand, And yet as unshaken as the continent. For in the background, figures vague and vast, Of patriarchs and of prophets rose sublime, And all the great traditions of the past They saw reflected in the coming time. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD A LITTLE HISTORY by DAVID LEHMAN FOR I WILL CONSIDER YOUR DOG MOLLY by DAVID LEHMAN JEWISH GRAVEYARDS, ITALY by PHILIP LEVINE NATIONAL THOUGHTS by YEHUDA AMICHAI SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 2.
