ULTIMA by EMILE DESPAX

First Line: MUSING I SEEM UPON THE GLISTENING SPACE
Last Line: WE SHALL BE ONE THROUGH PAIN.

MUSING I seem upon the glistening space
Among the trees to see
A white bust glimmer on a marble base.
My brother says: 'Tis he.

Brother, though thou love farthest island ways,
Strange sky and ultimate main,
I books and perfect verse and quiet days,
We shall be one through pain.
