It leaps through us, through all our heavens leaps,
Extinguishing our planets, one by one,
Leaving, of where we were and looked, of where
We knew each other and of each other thought,
A shivering residue, chilled and foregone,
Except for that crown and mystical cabala.

Wallace Stevens

Wallace Stevens (1879–1955), U.S. poet. "The Auroras of Autumn."
