TRANSCENDENCY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A more imposing chaos than our own
Last Line: Of some more hugely blundering ass than I!
Subject(s): Heaven; Meditation; Paradise


A MORE imposing chaos than our own
Rolls round us. This immediate mess
Promotes a vaster hodge-podge, in turn less
Than one yet mightier. All things that, alone,
Have plan and purpose ultimately enthrone
A universal dissonance, possess
The seeds of some celestial foolishness
To our misapprehensions yet unknown.
What balm to meditate when Heaven's vain show
Of lawless myriads clutters up the sky
That this same glittering universe may flow
A corpuscle inside the stepped-on toe
Of some more hugely blundering ass than I!
