Character

Title:     Character
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson [More Titles by Emerson]

The sun set, but set not his hope:
Stars rose; his faith was earlier up:
Fixed on the enormous galaxy,
Deeper and older seemed his eye;
And matched his sufferance sublime
The taciturnity of time.
He spoke, and words more soft than rain
Brought the Age of Gold again:
His action won such reverence sweet
As hid all measure of the feat.

[The end]
Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem: Character
