Histrion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJ KLMNOJPQNo man hath dared to write this thing as yet | A |
And yet I know how that the souls of all men great | B |
At times pass athrough us | C |
And we are melted into them and are not | D |
Save reflexions of their souls | E |
Thus am I Dante for a space and am | F |
One Francois Villon ballad lord and thief | G |
Or am such holy ones I may not write | H |
Lest blasphemy be writ against my name | I |
This for an instant and the flame is gone | J |
- | |
'Tis as in midmost us there glows a sphere | K |
Translucent molten gold that is the I | L |
And into this some form projects itself | M |
Christus or John or eke the Florentine | N |
And as the clear space is not if a form's | O |
Imposed thereon | J |
So cease we from all being for the time | P |
And these the Masters of the Soul live on | Q |
