Lone in unalterable gloom
Dead, with a universe for tomb,
Dark, and to vaster darkness whirled.

The mothlike worlds flit 'round the guttering sun.

In wisdom down, content to die.

Unduped, unmurmuring, unafraid.

What silence rules the ghostly hours
That guard the close of human sleep!

Still haunted by the monstrous ghost of God.

As witch-fires that burn,
The gods and monsters pass,
Are dust, and return.
("The Face of the Skies")
Or sit they girt by laws unknown
Whereto the senses serve as bars –
With fire of unrecorded stars
That light a heaven not our own?
("The Testimony of the Suns")
