TIME SPACE, by ISABEL FISKE CONANT First Line: Into the universe I crawl Last Line: And time a dream. . . . Subject(s): God; Metaphysics; Space & Space Travel; Time; Universe; Outer Space; Fourth Dimension | |||
Into the Universe I crawl -- The table-top -- the Sky; Man on a mountain -- mouse from a wall -- Observer, I. I shall see what I shall see: Time -- the Fourth Space -- The inkwell -- the Pleiades -- A god's face. Push on, point, through your line; Line, through your square; Rise, square, your cube define -- A god is there. Box of God, arise, arise, Three-dimensional; Through the contracting skies Upward fall. Into your fourth estate Expanding, climb; Swing the gods' arched gate On the hinge of Time. Let illusion fall away, Skyscrapers seem Blocks tossed aslant in play -- And Time a dream. . . . | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MULTIVERSE by ALBERT GOLDBARTH EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 33.
