A Universe Within
Set out for a journey, I bid foes and friends goodbye.
Contemplating a solitary trip to immortality was I
To the end of man’s knowledge,
To the far-reaching of the ocean surface,
To the borderless space above,
To the world’s edge,
To the gate of Hades’s realm, I drove.
‘Tis for the sake of an infinite,
Wandered I, across the lands, my purpose unattained,
The sky aloft, the conquered earth beyond my right,
Vainly, I looked for your sight,
There, on the end of my flight,
Realized I, Alas! The Universe is but within me, here, my immortality!
