Professor's Fryed rice

… ‘the pale dawn of longing’, ‘the broken collar-bone of silence’, ‘the massive eyelids of time’, ‘the crimson tree of love’. I have made these up myself, and they are free to any poet who wants them …
Northrop Frye, Anatomy of Criticism
Quoted by Nausheen Eusuf in her poem available here.

When that Precious Perle of Oryente Cloystor, like our Lear King's last belonging, thus can sink
Or say rather, Little Father, when the Massive eyelids of Time, in Horror at thy Crime, thus yet blink

Then must Lyric, that majestically woken Oyster, stale its pale dawn of Longing to atone
For the Violence of its Silence at its own domestically broken collar bone.

Envoi-

Prince! 'Done because we are too menny'. Three fallen fruit

Poison the crimson Tree of Love- Thee- at root.

Note-

'All poetic imagery seems to be founded on metaphor, but in the lyric, where the associative process is strongest and the ready-made descriptive phrases of ordinary prose furthest away, the unexpected or violent metaphor that is called catachresis has a peculiar importance. Much more frequently than any other genre does the lyric depend for its main effect on the fresh or surprising image, a fact which often gives rise to the illusion that such imagery is radically new or unconventional. From Nashe's "Brightness falls from the air" to Dylan Thomas's "A grief ago," the emotional crux of the lyric has over and over again tended to be this "sudden glory" of fused metaphor.'
