    And that inverted Bowl they call the Sky,
    Whereunder crawling coop'd we live and die,
    Lift not your hands to it for help--for it
    As impotently moves as you or I.

the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

The moon has set
In a bank of jet
That fringes the Western sky,
The pleiads seven
Have sunk from heaven
And the midnight hurries by;
My hopes are flown
And, alas! alone
On my weary couch I lie.

fretted with golden fire--why, it appeareth nothing to me but a
foul and pestilent congregation of vapors.
