Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Manhattan
HE sun with sabre of illuming ?ame Has rent the storm, and out of darkness rise, In the belated ?are that strikes the skies, Colossal roofs like summits lost to fame, Or mountains heaped by Titans to reclaim The throne of Gods whose thunder still replies; A mighty bastion, lit for dream's surmise, Defying heaven with abortive aim. O shadowed marvel! Are thy peaks that fade A vision or a verity sublime? Thy promontories, where the storm delayed, Illusion's dream or the long boast of time? The ultimate shaft of sunset disappears, And leaves the night no answer from the years.
