One poem in this collection ends with "a shipwrecked Pagan, safe in port" who honors his sea-god wit
One poem in this collection ends with "a shipwrecked Pagan, safe in port" who honors his sea-god with "a sculptured porpoise." In that poem the speaker begs, "pardon, oh pardon" for an inadequate soul that makes an "image only so / Formed of the sand, and fit to shift and break." One poem is a meditation on the poet's earlier line "My future will not copy fair my past," while in another the speaker requests "let me hear / The name I used to run at." This collection includes poems with the opening lines "Yes, call me by my pet-name" and "I thought once how Theocritus had sung" while its best-known poem talks about performing an action "as men strive for Right" and "as they turn from Praise." For 10 points, name this poetry collection featuring "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways," written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
