A long long sleep

A long – long Sleep –

A famous – Sleep –

That makes no show for Morn –

By Stretch of Limb – or stir of Lid –

An independent One –

Was ever idleness like this ?

Opon a Bank of Stone

To bask the Centuries away –

Nor once look up – for noon ? (463)

The largest fire ever known

The largest Fire ever known
Occurs each Afternoon –
Discovered is without surprise
Proceeds without concern –
Consumes and no report to men
An Occidental Town,
Rebuilt another morning
To be burned down again
(974)

Just lost when I was saved

Just lost, when I was saved !
Just felt the world go by !
Just girt me for the onset with Eternity,
When breath blew back,
And on the other side
I heard recede the disappointed tide !
Therefore, as One returned, I feel,
Odd secrets of the line to tell !
Some sailor, skirting foreign shores-
Some pale Reporter, from the awful doors
Before the Seal !
Next time, to stay
Next time, the things to see
By ear unheard-
Unscrutinized by eyes –
Next time to tarry
While the Ages steal-
Slow tramp the Centuries,
And the Cycles wheel ! (132)

will there really be a morning?

Will there really be a « morning » ?

Is there such a thing as « Day » ?

Could I see it from the mountains

If I were as tall as they ?

Has it feet like Water lilies ?

Has it feathers like a bird ?

It is brought from famous countries

Of which I have never heard ?

Oh some Scholar ! Oh some Sailor !

Oh some Wise Man from the skies !

Please to tell a litlle pilgrim

Where the place called morning lies !

an ignorance a sunset

An ignorance a Sunset

Confer opon the Eye –

Of Territory – Color –

Circumference – Decay –

It’s Amber Revelation

Exhilirate – Debase –

Omnipotence’ inspection

Of Our inferior face –

And when the solemn features

Confirm – in Victory –

We start – as if detected

In Immortality (669)
