The Golden Darkness/Comment
COMMENT.
If all this world is nothing but a stage
Then all is sham indeed; but man forgets,
Remembering his rival in the dark,
And time forgets, remembering that, too,
And there is more than shamming in their thrusts.
Then all is sham indeed; but man forgets,
Remembering his rival in the dark,
And time forgets, remembering that, too,
And there is more than shamming in their thrusts.
Out of the dark the eyes of myriads watch,
Wondering, perhaps, that life could be so real,
Until the climax comes, a cry, a gasp;
Then down the silence of the dark is heard
The wild and thunderous applause of seas.
