Walt Whitman on Pleiades
← Back to Walt Whitman Profile
“The ravening clouds shall not long be victorious, They shall not long possess the sky, they devour the stars only in apparition, Jupiter shall emerge, be patient, watch again another night, the Pleiades shall emerge, They are immortal…”
“Something there is more immortal even than the stars, (Many the burials, many the days and nights, passing away,) '''Something that shall endure longer even than lustrous Jupiter Longer than sun or any revolving satellite, Or the radiant sisters the Pleiades.”
