The limits of enlightenment
When to enlarge we shall succeed,
In course of time (the whole extent
Will not five centuries exceed
By computation) it is like
Our roads transformed the eye will strike;
Highways all Russia will unite
And form a network left and right;
On iron bridges we shall gaze
Which o'er the waters boldly leap,
Mountains we'll level and through deep
Streams
excavate
subaqueous ways,
And Christian folk will, I expect,
An inn at every stage erect.

But wisest Fate sayes no,

The Babe lies yet in smiling Infancy,
That on the bitter cross
Must redeem our loss;
So both himself and us to glorifie:
Yet first to those ychain'd in sleep,
The Wakeful trump of doom must thunder through the deep,

With such a horrid clang
As on Mount Sinai rang
While the red fire, and
smouldring
clouds out brake:
The aged Earth agast 160
With terrour of that blast,
Shall from the surface to the center shake;

The dreadfull Judge in middle Air shall spread his throne.

In the path the

Where those bold Romans stood,
All shrank, like boys who unaware,
Ranging the woods to start a hare,

Lies amidst bones and blood.

Beneath the roofs at the edge of the fire
In the empty street in broad daylight

By the side of the foolish and wise
Among the grown-ups and children
Love's not mysterious at all

Not marble, nor the gilded monuments
Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme;
But you shall shine more bright in these contents
Than unswept stone, besmear'd with
sluttish
time.

Pessoa - Livro do Desassossego |

Though time shall be no more, yet space shall give
A nobler theatre to love and live
The winged courier then no more shall claim
The power to sink or raise the notes of Fame,
Or give its glories to the
noontide
ray:
True merit then, in everlasting day,
Shall shine for ever, as at first it shone
At once to God and man and angels known.
