Supreme with night, what high mysteriarch-
The undreamt-of god beyond the trinal noon
Of elder suns empyreal-past the moon
Circling some wild world outmost in the dark-
Lays on me this unfathomed wish to hark
What central sea with plume-plucked midnight strewn,
Plangent to what enormous plenilune
That lifts in silence, hinderless and stark ?
The brazen empire of the bournless waste,
The unstayed dominions of the brazen sky-
These I desire, and all things wide and deep;
And, lifted past the level years, would taste
The cup of an Olympian ecstasy,
Titanic dream, and Cyclopean sleep.
Desire Of Vastness
