Lip and eye<br>Flashed on the glory, shone and cried,<br>Improvident, unmemoried;<br>And fitfully and like a flame<br>The light of laughter went and came.<br>Proud in their careless transience moved<br>The changing faces that I loved.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Till suddenly, and otherwhence,<br>I looked upon your innocence.<br>For lifted clear and still and strange<br>From the dark woven flow of change<br>Under a vast and starless sky<br>I saw the immortal moment lie.<br>One instant I, an instant, knew<br>As God knows all. And it and you<br>I, above Time, oh, blind! could see<br>In witless immortality.<br>I saw the marble cup; the tea,<br>Hung on the air, an amber stream;<br>I saw the fire's unglittering gleam,<br>The painted flame, the frozen smoke.<br>No more the flooding lamplight broke<br>On flying eyes and lips and hair;<br>But lay, but slept unbroken there,<br>On stiller flesh, and body breathless,<br>And lips and laughter stayed and deathless,<br>And words on which no silence grew.<br>Light was more alive than you.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">For suddenly, and otherwhence,<br>I looked on your magnificence.<br>I saw the stillness and the light,<br>And you, august, immortal, white,<br>Holy and strange; and every glint<br>Posture and jest and thought and tint<br>Freed from the mask of transiency,<br>Triumphant in eternity,<br>Immote, immortal.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">   Dazed at length<br>Human eyes grew, mortal strength<br>Wearied; and Time began to creep.<br>Change closed about me like a sleep.<br>Light glinted on the eyes I loved.<br>The cup was filled. The bodies moved.<br>The drifting petal came to ground.<br>The laughter chimed its perfect round.<br>The broken syllable was ended.<br>And I, so certain and so friended,<br>How could I cloud, or how distress,<br>The heaven of your unconsciousness?<br>Or shake at Time's sufficient spell,<br>Stammering of lights unutterable?<br>The eternal holiness of you,<br>The timeless end, you never knew,<br>The peace that lay, the light that shone.<br>You never knew that I had gone<br>A million miles away, and stayed<br>A million years. The laughter played<br>Unbroken round me; and the jest<br>Flashed on. And we that knew the best<br>Down wonderful hours grew happier yet.<br>I sang at heart, and talked, and eat,<br>And lived from laugh to laugh, I too,<br>When you were there, and you, and you.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Rupert+Brooke">Rupert Brooke</a><div class=q>
