But for an untoward fate.

Reaches the ecstatic vision
And sees the celestial outposts?

I who kept the greenhouse,
Lover of trees and flowers,
Oft in life saw this umbrageous elm,
Measuring its generous branches with my eye,
And listened to its rejoicing leaves
Lovingly patting each other
With sweet aeolian whispers.

And the vast silence that covers
Broken nations and vanquished leaders.
Edgar Lee Masters
In the lust of my strength
I cursed God, but he paid no attention to me:
I might as well have cursed the stars.
Edgar Lee Masters
