Each minute bursts in
the burning room,
|
The great globe reels
in the solar fire,
|
Spinning the trivial
and unique away.
|
(How all things flash!
How all things flare!)
|
What am I now that I
was then?
|
May memory restore again
and again
|
The smallest color of
the smallest day:
|
Time is the school in
which we learn,
|
Time is the fire in which
we burn.
