The Twelfth Night Star, Bliss Carman, 1931

 

It is the bitter time of year

When iron is the ground,

With hasp and sheathing of black ice

The forest lakes are bound,

The world lies snugly under snow,

Asleep without a sound.

 

All the night long in trooping squares

The sentry stars go by,

The silent and unwearying hosts

That bear man company,

And with their pure enkindling fires

Keep vigils lone and high.

 

Through the dead hours before the dawn,

When the frost snaps the sill,

From chestnut-wooded ridge to sea

The earth lies dark and still,

Till one great silver planet shines

Above the eastern hill.

 

It is the star of Gabriel,

The herald of the Word

In days when messengers of God

With sons of men conferred,

Who brought the tidings of great joy

The watching shepherds heard ;

 

The mystic light that moved to lead

The wise of long ago,

Out of the great East where they dreamed

Of truths they could not know,

To seek some good that should assuage

The world's most ancient woe.

 

O well, believe, they loved their dream,

Those children of the star,

Who saw the light and followed it,

Prophetical, afar, --

Brave Gaspar, clear-eyed Melchior,

And eager Balthasar.

 

Another year slips to the void,

And still with omen bright

Above the sleeping doubting world

The day-star is alight,--

The waking signal flashed of old

In the blue Syrian night.

 

But who are now as wise as they

Whose faith could read the sign

Of the three gifts that shall suffice

To honor the divine,

And show the tread of common life

Ineffably benign ?

 

Whoever wakens on a day

Happy to know and be,

To enjoy the air, to love his kind,

To labor, to be free, --

Already his enraptured soul

Lives in eternity.

 

For him with every rising sun

The year begins anew ;

The fertile earth receives her lord,

And prophecy comes true,

Wondrously as a fall of snow,

Dear as a drench of dew.

 

Who gives his life for beauty's need,

King Gaspar could no more ;

Who serve the truth with single mind

Shall stand with Melchior ;

And love is all that Balthasar

In crested censer bore.

Ήλιος, Donato Creti, 1711

 

Με μια σειρά πινάκων που ζωγράφισε ο Donato Creti το 1711 παρατηρώντας μέσα από ένα τηλεσκόπιο, προσπαθεί να διεγείρει το ενδιαφέρον της καθολικής εκκλησίας ώστε να χρηματοδοτηθεί ένα αστρονομικό παρατηρητήριο.
