Lyrics by George Sterling's
"The Testimony of the Suns".1902.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The winter sunset fronts the norths. . . .
The light deserts the quiet sky. . . .
From their far gates how silently
The stars of evening tremble forth!
Eternity, unto thine eyes
In war's unrest their legions surge,
Form of the cosmic tides that urge
The battle of contending skies
O Night, what legions serve thy wars!
Lo! thy terrific battle-line--
The rayless bulk, the blazing Sign,
The leagued infinity of stars!
What silence rules the ghostly hours
That guard the close of human sleep!
Aldebaran crowns the western deep
Belted with suns Orion towe'rs
Profounds whose silences proclaim
What realms of mystery and awe!
Colossal wraths extolling Law
From unsubverted thrones of flame!
O Night where Time and Sorrow cease!
Eternal magnitude of dark
Wherein Aldebaran drifts a spark,
And Sirius is hushed to peace!
Who watch the phalanxes remote
That, gathered in opposing skies,
Far on the southern wastes arise,
Marshalled by flaming Fomalhaut.
A mist upon the vassal skies
Gyrant to Betelgeuse--a flare
Upon the midnights round Altair--
A portent to barbaric eyes.
O dread and strong Eternity!
Prickt in an instant of thy clime,
Is one with thine unchanging sea.
Unheard their antiphon of death
Who gleam arcturu's cosmic foes
Unseen the war whose causal throes
Perturb gigantic Algol's breath...

The reason why the universe is eternal is that it does not live for itself; it gives life to others as it transforms” Lao Tzu quotes (Chinese taoist Philosopher, founder of Taoism, wrote "Tao Te Ching" (also "The Book of the Way"). 600 BC-531 BC)
