OUT IN THE OPEN LIGHT

Out in the open light, the Sun is shining,

Father of Health, Health rosy cheeked, whose breasts

Are full, and yield their milk abundantly;

She only sees those things of flesh about

Which her divine sun-father shows to her;

And her unconquerable iron hands

Are matched with careless and short-sighted eyes.

Out in the open light, even the moon,

The Sibyl, clothed in white, appears, with glance

Lyncean, piercing deep and bringing forth

From the world's ends great hosts of monstrous things,

The monsters born of shadows and of dreams.
