As Helios fades from Neptune’s seas
Beyond the Pillars of Hercules
Above Plato’s mythic sunken halls
Across lost Atlantis twilight falls.
Ere dark fathoms blacken a sundial’s tusk,
Hegel’s owl of Minerva takes flight at dusk.
Hegel’s Owl

As Helios fades from Neptune’s seas
Beyond the Pillars of Hercules
Above Plato’s mythic sunken halls
Across lost Atlantis twilight falls.
Ere dark fathoms blacken a sundial’s tusk,
Hegel’s owl of Minerva takes flight at dusk.
