Comparison of "Hope" and "Man Alone" by Emma Newell https://padlet.com/92671/w7mdignsx7g By: Emma Newell and Meghan Walls en-us 2017-02-23 19:37:46 UTC 2023-10-15 08:49:40 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Hearts.png "Hope" 92671 https://padlet.com/92671/w7mdignsx7g/wish/155885678 Hope Was but a timid friend;
She sat without the grated den,
Watching how my fate would tend,
Even as selfish-hearted men.

She was cruel in her fear;
Through the bars one dreary day,
I looked out to see her there,
And she turned her face away!

Like a false guard, false watch keeping,
Still, in strife, she whispered peace;
She would sing while I was weeping;
If I listened, she would cease.

False she was, and unrelenting;
When my last joys strewed the ground,
Even Sorrow saw, repenting,
Those sad relics scattered round;

Hope, whose whisper would have given
Balm to all my frenzied pain,
Stretched her wings, and soared to heaven,
Went, and ne'er returned again!]]> 2017-02-23 19:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/92671/w7mdignsx7g/wish/155885678 "Man Alone" 35131 https://padlet.com/92671/w7mdignsx7g/wish/155885723 It is yourself you seek
In a long rage,
Scanning through light and darkness
Mirrors, the page,

Where should reflected be
Those eyes and that thick hair,
That passionate look, that laughter.
You should appear

Within the book, or doubled,
Freed, in the silvered glass;
Into all other bodies
Yourself should pass.

The glass does not dissolve;
Like walls the mirrors stand;
The printed page gives back
Words by another hand.

And your infatuate eye
Meets not itself below;
Strangers lie in your arms
As I lie now.
