Fixed Ideas Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFBGHIJIIIKLMNII OII| RANKS of electroplated cubes dwindling to glitters | A |
| Like the other pasture the trigonometry of marble | B |
| Death's candy bed Stone caked on stone | C |
| Dry pyramids and racks of iron balls | D |
| Life is observed a precipitate of pellets | E |
| Or grammarians freeze it into spar | F |
| Their rhomboids as for instance the finest crystal | B |
| Fixing a snowfall under glass Gods are laid out | G |
| In alabaster with horny cartilage | H |
| And zinc ribs or systems of ecstasy | I |
| Baked into bricks There is a gallery of sculpture | J |
| Bleached bones of heroes Gorgon masks of bushrangers | I |
| But the quarries are of more use than this | I |
| Filled with the rolling of huge granite dice | I |
| Ideas and judgments vivisection the Baptist Church | K |
| Good men and bad men polygamy birth control | L |
| Frail tinkling rush | M |
| Water hair streaming | N |
| Prickles and glitters | I |
| Cloudy with bristles | I |
| River of thought | O |
| Swimming the pebbles | I |
| Undo loosen your bubbles | I |
