The hour of love and dignity and peace

Is surely not dead.

With more splendor than these somber lives

The gates within us

Open on the brilliant gardens of the sun.

Then do these inscrutable soldiers rise upward,

Nourished and flowering

On the battleslopes of the Unseen. For Victory,

Unlike the sponsored madness in these undertakings,

Is not diminished by what is mortal; but on its peaks

Grows until the dark caverns are alight

With the ordained radiance of all mankind.

What the Grecian Earns

I do not count the day

Unless something proves life.
