Beautiful City Poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson

Beautiful City

Rating: 2.7


Beautiful city

Beautiful city, the centre and crater of European confusion,
O you with your passionate shriek for the rights of an equal
humanity,
How often your Re-volution has proven but E-volution
Roll'd again back on itself in the tides of a civic insanity!

I wonder if he is talking about Paris France. Does anyone have another guess? (or perhaps you know)

The civic insanity already started in the poet's era, we can read that in this monologue. Brilliant brevity.5 Stars full for this Classic Poem Of The Day
