Can aught destroy <br>The task that was the stars’ employ? <br> <br>Their ecstasy to God is more <br>Than Lucifer at Heaven’s door <br>Entreating pardon for his war. <br> <br>These two are gods, for, by love swayed, <br>They have God’s special task essayed, <br>And new worlds for their gladness made. <br> <br>This little hour so lightly given <br>Makes earth too mean a place to live in, <br>And broken toys His Hell and Heaven. <br> <br>All Time, expectant of their bliss, <br>Hangs fearful. Space through her abyss <br>Shudders if they this hour should miss. <br> <br>For if their kiss they went without, <br>The stars would be a raining rout, <br>And time in anguish flicker out. <br> <br>About God’s room from star to sun <br>A stealthy slippered Thing would run, <br>Quenching cold tapers one by one. <br> <br>But they have kissed. Eternity, <br>Like a great clock, beats steadily <br>For these mazed fools—but not for me! <br> <br>Of God’s wide universe the strands <br>They hold within their clinging hands; <br>The stars march on at their commands. <br> <br>So from this moment blossom free <br>New universes tirelessly— <br>Aeons of unguessed ecstasy! <br> <br>But I can only bow and beat <br>Vain hands about God’s mercy-seat, <br>And, still remembering, still entreat. <br> <br>Surely my penance is complete! <br>The rack turns grimly when I meet <br>A pair of lovers on the street</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Arthur+Henry+Adams">Arthur Henry Adams</a><div class=q>

 I dare not mock: with reverence meet 
My unforgetting heart I cheat. 
 
Ah, God, spare me—so soon again 
At the barred door to beat in vain, 
And find their dalliance such fierce pain!
