• Daughter of Time, the hypocrite Days,
  Muffled and dumb like barefoot dervishes,
  And marching single in an endless file,
  Bring diadems and fagots in their hands;
  To each they offer gifts after his will,
  Bread, kingdom, stars, and sky that holds them all;
  I, in my pleached garden watched the pomp
  Forgot my morning wishes, hastily
  Took a few herbs and apples, and the Day
  Turned and departed silent. I too late
  Under her solemn fillet saw the scorn.

  Ralph Waldo Emerson

  Daughter, Morning, Stars
