Analysis of A Whisper Then To Shout
Is there an image in your imagery,
a still behind the flask
A spell within the potion,
an answer, question asked
A beginning in your ending line,
a peace that’s worth the bout
A phrase that makes all history shake,
—a whisper then to shout
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
