Book Description
Excerpt from The Guarding of a Goddess: And Other Poems The Guarding of a Goddess Dedicated To my Mother and Sisters How oft, when I have watched a lovely flower Spring from the sweet earth upward to the sun, I've grieved to know that it so soon must wither, When for a brief space, in triumphant glory, It has enriched the world with the bright gaze Of its fair eyes. Oh! it is sad to know The lovely only comes to go again. 'Tis sad to know - I shrink from breathing it, But I will face the truth: face it with me - That those fair things I love so much to watch, That those bewitching things at last must go - Must one by one be rest from thee. The beauty Of thy fair body must leave thee like a dream. They all must go, those things I love so much - That lissom form, free as the mountain roe; Those eyes, where some shy wild thing seems to lurk In their deep shade, no sooner seen than lost, But once seen ne'er forgotten; those sweet lips, Which, curving upwards in a mischievous smile, Must melt mans heart to tears unless it be Hard as a stone. Oh, I could watch all day The ripples as they play about thy mouth, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Author: Margaret AtwoodPublisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0063032511
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
A new book of poetry from internationally acclaimed, award-winning and bestselling author Margaret Atwood In Dearly, Margaret Atwood’s first collection of poetry in over a decade, Atwood addresses themes such as love, loss, the passage of time, the nature of nature and - zombies. Her new poetry is introspective and personal in tone, but wide-ranging in topic. In poem after poem, she casts her unique imagination and unyielding, observant eye over the landscape of a life carefully and intuitively lived. While many are familiar with Margaret Atwood’s fiction—including her groundbreaking and bestselling novels The Handmaid’s Tale, The Testaments, Oryx and Crake, among others—she has, from the beginning of her career, been one of our most significant contemporary poets. And she is one of the very few writers equally accomplished in fiction and poetry. This collection is a stunning achievement that will be appreciated by fans of her novels and poetry readers alike.
