Alan Seeger - Sonnet XAlan Seeger - Sonnet X
Work rating: Low


A splendor, flamelike, born to be pursued, With palms extent for amorous charity And eyes incensed with love for all they see, A wonder more to be adored than wooed, On whom the grace of conscious womanhood Adorning every little thing she does Sits like enchantment, making glorious A careless pose, a casual attitude; Around her lovely shoulders mantle-wise Hath come the realm of those old fabulous queens Whose storied loves are Art`s rich heritage, To keep alive in this our latter age That force that moving through sweet Beauty`s means Lifts up Man`s soul to towering enterprise.
