Marble Facade
Lo, what stands before me is most certainly peculiar
This bombast wall of mystery crafted by an artificer unknown
Thus I shall pursue my inquiry by light that is lunar,
And cast away every unturned stone
As I draw near this pillar now,
A certain notion becomes quite clear
Its facade is of great beauty, this, I cannot disavow
For the marble is exquisite, ‘tis something to revere
Assuredly, this work serves for a greater purpose indeed
To arouse inspiration amongst mankind,
And to hasten the pace at which we succeed
As to not rush articulation, but to ensure all deeds are refined
The sun commences to rise and this pillar turns to waste
For what is valuable at night; in the day, is erased
