Suppressed itself erewhile. This eve's the time,

This eve intense with yon first trembling star

We seem to pant and reach; scarce aught between

The earth that rises and the heaven that bends;

All nature self-abandoned, every tree

Flung as it will, pursuing its own thoughts

And fixed so, every flower and every weed,

No pride, no shame, no victory, no defeat;

All under God, each measured by itself.

These statues round us stand abrupt, distinct,
