A Vision Analysis

Author: Poetry of Oscar Wilde Type: Poetry Views: 291

TWO crownèd Kings, and One that stood alone

With no green weight of laurels round his head,

But with sad eyes as one uncomforted,

And wearied with man's never-ceasing moan

For sins no bleating victim can atone,

And sweet long lips with tears and kisses fed.

Girt was he in a garment black and red,

And at his feet I marked a broken stone

Which sent up lilies, dove-like, to his knees.

Now at their sight, my heart being lit with flame

I cried to Beatricé, "Who are these?"

And she made answer, knowing well each name,

"Æschylos first, the second Sophokles,

And last (wide stream of tears!) Euripides."

.: :.

Æschylos and Sophokles were greek playwrights. So was Euripides, but he fled from greece, and wrote "modern" poetry, which talked about women's rights and homosexuality. He wasn't as succesfull as the firs two, hence "Two crowned kings" and "the One that stood alone". And "wide strem of tears!" probably refers to Wilde himself and Euripides, as they were "misjudged" and the white "lilies, dove-like" symolise their innocence.
