Do not say, referring to the sun
“It’s journey northward has begun,”
As though it were a bird, annually migrating,
That now returns to build in rich trees
Its nest of golden grass. Do not belie
Its lusty health with words such as imply
A pallid invalid recuperating.
The age demands the facts, therefore be brief –
Others will sense the simile – and say:
“We are turning towards the sun’s indifferent ray.”
