< < < Sunset (“Where ships of purple gently toss)
Superiority to Fate > > >

Superfluous were the sun

Superfluous were the sun

   When excellence is dead;

He were superfluous every day,

   For every day is said

That syllable whose faith

   Just saves it from despair,

And whose ‘I’ll meet you’ hesitates

   If love inquire, ‘Where?’

Upon his dateless fame

   Our periods may lie,

As stars that drop anonymous

   From an abundant sky.

Superiority to Fate > > >
