Explore "The Snarl" by Georgia Douglas Johnson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Too late to roll the tangled skein / The knot is taut, what might have been / Passed with the pangs of yesterday --
The secret page of history.
Red blood and white and black combine --
Can you dissever yours from mine?
Such motifs are not thus undone, / Like prowess might command the sun.
Too late to roll the tangled skein, / At first perhaps, this might have been, / 'Tis now too hard and passing late / To disentwine the threads of Fate!
