First Line: My eyes are turned aside from this vile race
Last Line: And all the rest is night and nothingness.
Subject(s): Nothingness; Nihilism; Voids
My eyes are turned aside from this vile race . .
The spirit sickens! Now the deed is dead!
Those only who on golden triremes fled
Toward the holy places only those
Who play my harps and who within the temple
Do sacrifice .. and those who seek the way
With ardent arms outstretched into the evening
The steps of those alone I watch with favor—
And all the rest is night and nothingness.
