BEAUTIFUL INFINITY

The World

I saw Eternity the other night
Like a great ring of pure and endless light,
All calm, as it was bright,
And round beneath it, Time, in hours, days, years
Driven by the spheres
Like a vast shadow moved, in which the world
And all her train were hurl'd...

-Henry Vaughan (April 17, 1622 − April 28, 1695)
