Explore "The End of the Century" by Madison Cawein on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There are moments when, as missions, / God reveals to us strange visions; / When, within their separate stations, / We may see the Centuries, / Like revolving constellations / Shaping out Earth's destinies.
I have gazed in Time's abysses, / Where no smallest thing Earth misses / That was hers once. 'Mid her chattels, / There the Past's gigantic ghost / Sits and dreams of thrones and battles / In the night of ages lost.
