FOR AN ALLEGORICAL DANCE OF WOMEN - ZaunköniG - 10.06.2007 FOR AN ALLEGORICAL DANCE OF WOMEN BY ANDREA MANTEGNA (In the Louvre) SCARCELY, I think; yet it indeed may be The meaning reached him, when this music rang Clear through his frame, a sweet possessive pang, And he beheld these rocks and that ridged sea. But I believe that, leaning tow'rds them, he Just felt their hair carried across his face As each girl passed him; nor gave ear to trace How many feet; nor bent assuredly His eyes from the blind fixedness of thought To know the dancers. It is bitter glad Even unto tears. Its meaning filleth it, A secret of the wells of Life: to wit:— The heart's each pulse shall keep the sense it had With all, though the mind's labour run to nought. |
