Best Answer

"It seems no work of Man's creative hand,

By labor wrought as wavering fancy planned,

But from the rock as if by magic grown,

Eternal, silent, beautiful, alone!

Not virgin-white like that old Doric shrine,

Where erst Athena held her rites divine;

Not saintly-grey, like many a minster fane,

That crowns the hill and consecrates the plane;

But rose-red as if the blush of dawn

That first beheld them were not yet withdrawn;

The hues of youth upon a brow of woe,

Your Contributions which deemed old two thousand years ago,

Match me such a marvel save in Eastern clime,

A rose-red city half as old as time."

What is the difference between a concrete poem and calligram?

i am asking the same thing, but so far this is what i know.... a concrete poem is a poem which letters or words are laid out to picture a poem's content whereas a calligram is a poem in which the words are tracing the outline of the subject. eg a famous concrete poem is Alan Riddell's revolver poem and a calligram is for example the words for a poem about a cat shaped to outline a picture of a cat. hope that helps.
