William Blake

Does the Eagle know what is in the pit?

Or wilt thou go ask the Mole:

Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod?

Or Love in a golden bowl?

Of watching you; and swing me suddenly

16 lines
Rupert Brooke·1887–1915·Bloomsbury Group
f the last land! There, waiting patiently, One day, I think, I’ll feel a cool wind blowing,See a slow light across the Stygian tide,And hear the Dead about me stir, unknowing,And tremble. And J shall know that you havedied. ; éca4 And watch you, a broad-browed and smiling dream,Pass, light as ever, through the lightless host, Quietly ponder, start, and sway, and gleam—Most individual and bewildering ghost !— And turn, and toss your brown delightful headAmusedly, among the ancient Dead. 49
