Explore "Portrait of a Baby" by Stephen Vincent Benet on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
He lay within a warm, soft world / Of motion. Colors bloomed and fled, / Maroon and turquoise, saffron, red, / Wave upon wave that broke and whirled / To vanish in the grey-green gloom, / Perspectiveless and shadowy.
A bulging world that had no walls, / A flowing world, most like the sea, / Compassing all infinity / Within a shapeless, ebbing room, / An endless tide that swells and falls.
