GALILEO TO THE GRAND-DUCHESS OF TUSCANY - ZaunköniG - 06.05.2009 GALILEO TO THE GRAND-DUCHESS OF TUSCANY. Lady, whose gracious intellect could divine, Long since, the organic powers that guide the sphere ; And sometimes deigned to express the love, and fear, Such themes can kindle in a heart like thine ; Again that thunder fierce and leonine Rolls through the twilight on my wakeful ear ; Again the sacerdotal voice I hear, Banning the truth, as if 'twere man's design : Aye, as if with my own hand I could plant Those things within the heavens, to disturb Nature, and science, from their path serene; But in bis might comes Time, the hierophant ; And never shall another Joshua curb The sun's due course, till the last day hath been. |
