The Eidolon


Free Account, Bremen

Bleak December

A spirit passed before me: I beheld
The face of immortality unveiled -
Deep sleep came down on every eye save mine -
And there it stood, -all formless -but divine:
Along my bones the creeping flesh did quake;
And as my damp hair stiffened, thus it spake:

"Is man more just than God? Is man more pure
Than He who deems even Seraphs insecure?
Creatures of clay -vain dwellers in the dust!
The moth survives you, and are ye more just?
Things of a day! you wither ere the night,
Heedless and blind to Wisdom's wasted light!"

Byron

    Mein Zweit-Lieblingsgedicht!! Und es passt mal wieder perfekt zu der Stimmung des Bildes. Genau im richtigen Moment abgedrückt, die Vögel im Flug...
