Presentation Transcript

  1. I am like a slip of comet,Scarce worth discovery, in some corner seenBridging the slender difference of two stars,Come out of space, or suddenly engender'dBy heady elements, for no man knows;But when she sights the sun she grows and sizesAnd spins her skirts out, while her central starShakes its cocooning mists; and so she comesTo fields of light; millions of travelling raysPierce her; she hangs upon the flame-cased sun,And sucks the light as full as Gideons's fleece:But then her tether calls her; she falls off,And as she dwindles shreds her smock of goldBetween the sistering planets, till she comesTo single Saturn, last and solitary;And then she goes out into the cavernous dark.So I go out: my little sweet is done:I have drawn heat from this contagious sun:To not ungentle death now forth I run. Gerard Manley Hopkins
