An ancient thunder. I know not if these,

Mine all-indomitable eyes, shall see

A maimed and dwindled Godhead cast among

The stars of His creating, and beneath

The unnumbered rush of swift and shining feet,

Trodden into night; or mark the fiery breath

Of His infuriate suns blaze forth upon

And scorch that coarsened Essence; or His flame,

Drawn through the windy halls of nothingness,

A mightier comet, roar and redden down,
