The Curtains in the House of the Metaphysician

Document Actions
It comes about that the drifting of these curtains 
Is full of long motions; as the ponderous 
Deflations of distance; or as clouds 
Inseparable from their afternoons; 
Or the changing of light, the dropping 
Of the silence, wide sleep and solitude 
Of night, in which all motion 
Is beyond us, as the firmament, 
Up-rising and down-falling, bares 
The last largeness, bold to see.
