Vastness! and Age! and Memories of Eld!

Silence! and Desolation! and dim Night!

Where are ye now? POE said _he_ felt your strength,

But POE was but a poet. Better far

Be turned to "bizness" in a dime Museum,

Or trotted out, for cents, at the World's Fair

Than rot away beneath Rome's ruddy stars!
