And the nursling of the Sky;
I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores;

The pavilion of Heaven is bare,
And the winds and sunbeams with their convex gleams

And out of the caverns of rain,
Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb,
I arise and unbuild it again. — Percy Bysshe Shelley
