THE FACE OF THE SKIES

Jarin of The Dreaming Tree edited 🌐

Who shall loose Orion's bands?
"I!" saith Eternity.
"I with annulling hands
Shall set the Titan free."

Who shall erect upon the sky
New forms of might?
Saith Eternity: "I!
I shall re-people night.

"As a breath on glass,
As witch-fires that burn,
The gods and monsters pass,
Are dust, and return.

"Is the toil much to you
That is little to me?
Such dreams the gods knew,"
Saith Eternity.

— George Sterling, "Sails and Mirage and Other Poems", 1921
