And who has seen the moon, who has not seen

Her rise from out the chamber of the deep,

Flushed and grand and naked …

The poem ascended from there on in my mind in great chords of music to the final affirmation that when the moon is ‘spread out and known at last’

… We are sure

That beauty is a thing beyond the grave,

That perfect, bright experience never falls

To nothingness, and time will dim the moon

Sooner than our full consummation here

In this odd life will tarnish or pass away.
