Tamerlane -by Edgar Allen Poe…
“…When Hope, the eagle that tower’d, could see
No cliff beyond him in the sky,
His pinions were bent droopingly—
And homeward turn’d his soften’d eye.
‘Twas sunset: when the sun will part
There comes a sullenness of heart
To him who still would look upon…
The glory of the summer sun…
That soul will hate the ev’ning mist…
So often lovely, and will list
To the sound of the coming darkness
(known To those whose spirits hearken) as one;
Who, in a dream of night, would fly
But cannot from a danger nigh…”
Tamberlane by Edgar Allen Poe is one of his most underrated poems and it happens to be one of my favorites…
Hope you have a lovely holiday weekend Filey! ❤️
Thank you, Filey. I sat crying in front of my workstation (at home) so many times this week. I so needed this.
