So cold, so pure
Like alpine snow interred in glass
We witness your magnificence
So perfect, so holy
A magnetism wholly potent
Flawless geometry, faultless prison
One gaping eye extruding
Excluding, beholding
One iron grasp gathering, shaping, unmolding
One great iron consciousness unfolding
Claiming, reigning, crazing and razing
Overreaching sanity
Yet on your day, father,
Things make sense
We gain a time of innocence
Dropping the 5 day ball
Trading a handful of nothing
For a piece of eternity
Old man Time,
On your day there are so many thoughts
A flood of racing faces and places
Pooling at last in your watchful hands
We rest.
Saturn's Day

Saturn's Day
Brotherhood falls asunder at the touch of fire!
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not coloured like his own, and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
~William Cowper
