“Poets and kings are but the clerks of Time,
Tiering the same dull webs of discontent,
Clipping the same sad alnage of the years.”

Along one blind atomic pilgrimage
Whereon by crass chance billeted we go
Because our brains and bones and cartilage
Will have it so?”

Shining and still, but not for long to stay—
As if a thousand girls with golden hair
Might rise from where they slept and go away.”
