that wise bard once quoth

“more things in heaven and earth”
never words truer

revealed

the merest seventeen percent
what terror lies hid in that
lost four score and three

regard

those tricks of the night
must need more fearful attention
with chances so high

recondite

inscrutable dark
hides nature in majority
one day ascendant

reflect

perhaps we are yet
mere specimens in a tank keening
through a sooted glass
