"Stars Wheel in Purple" de H.D ( Hilda Doolittle)

Stars wheel in purple, yours is not so rare
as Hesperus, nor yet so great a star
as bright Aldeboran or Sirius,
nor yet the stained and brilliant one of War ;

stars turn in purple, glorious to the sight ;
yours is not gracious as the Pleiads are
nor as Orion's sapphires, luminous ;

yet disenchanted, cold, imperious face,
when all the others blighted, reel and fall,
your star, steel-set, keeps lone and frigid tryst
to freighted ships, baffled in wind and blast.

Hilda Doolittle, Let Zeus Record
