Post-Totality 3237 viewsCome! And in the fires of Spring
The winter garment of Repentance fling;
The Bird of Time hath but a little way to fly
And Lo! The Bird is on the wing!

Pre-Totality 9234 viewsAnd Spain go under and the shore
Of Africa the gilded sand
And evening vanish and no more
The low pale light across that land

Pre-Totality 3226 viewsTo feel creep up the curving east
The earthy chill of dusk and slow
Upon those under lands the vast
And ever climbing shadow grow

Pre-Totality 8220 viewsAnd over Sicily the air
Still flashing with the landward gulls
And loom and slowly disappear
The sails above the shadowy hulls

Post-Totality 2218 viewsBut at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
