Harrison, Susie Frances: To the God Opportunity - ZaunköniG - 01.07.2007 To the God Opportunity Strange, that no idol hath been roughly wrought, Or fairly carven, bearing on its base A name so potent! Strange, no ancient race, Workers in whitest Parian, ever sought To reproduce thy beauty, slyly fraught With vast suggestion! Strange, thou couldst not brace The dull Assyrian, didst not tempt from chase, Trophy and battle, the sons of literal thought. We who are tired of gods must yet to thee Render allegiance. Chance and Love are blind, And Cause is soulless, Art is deaf and vain, All unavailing looms the God of Pain. Disclaiming these, we choose with prescient mind The unknown God of Opportunity. |
