A Fatal Impress Comments

One little kiss, ' he sighed, 'I ask no more-' His face was cold, his lips too pale for passion...........fatal impression in passionate love! !

A lovely poem, a great joy to read and recite! Impressive ornamental language with brilliant metaphors. But above all, I would love to read this poem again, just for the two concluding lines: 'And then - this victim of a broken trust, A withered thing, was trodden in the dust'. How beautifully the poet has drawn the curtain! 10/10.

I stand by by my two earlier comments and sleep well dear Ella. Sleep well and may God Bless and Keep you.

Lonesome day! ! ! ! Loneliness, With the muse of your faith. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

One feels the cold wind as one progresses down the poem, so expressive!

Beautifully romantic sestet poem with a rhyme scheme of cdcdee that is delivered perfectly. Great job!

The flow and beat and rhyme pattern is more than magical poetry joy to behold. Ella at the peak of her poetry powers.

The sheer brilliance of Ella wheeler Wilcox. The title alone and then reread this magnificent poem's last line. Brilliant. So clever.
