But all these changes are not wrought by chance.

They follow a great order. It may be

That all things are repeated and reborn;

And, in their mighty periods, men return

And pass through their forgotten lives anew.

It may be; for, at times, the mind recalls—

Or half recalls—the turning of a road,

A statue on a hill, a passing face....

It may be; for our universe is bound

In rhythm; and the setting star will rise.
