Coloured in permanence? The glory swims

Girdling the glory-giver, swallowed straight

By night's abysmal gloom, unglorified

Behind as erst before the advancer: gloom?

Faced by the onward-faring, see, succeeds

From the abandoned heaven a next surprise.

And where's the gloom now?—silver-smitten straight,

One glow and variegation! So, with me,

Who move and make,—myself,—the black, the white.

The good, the bad, of life's environment.
