Excerpt from The Journey: Odes and SonnetsOU are so young, i Yet older than the eldest things that be - Older than cliffs affronted by the sea, That crumble into legend, shelf by shelf, Older than bright Orion, lost for lust, Dust-born and dimming back again to dust, Older than memory's first incarnate hour, Older than age itself And sprung In life's immortal April like a ¿ower.
