A NOISELESS PATIENT SPIDER

Image result for A NOISELESS PATIENT SPIDERA noiseless, patient spider
I marke’d where on a little promontory
       it stood isolated,
Marke’d how to explore the vacant vast
       surrounding;
It launched forth filament, filament, filament,
       out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly seeking the
      spheres to connect then,
And you, O my soul, where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of
         space.
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking
        the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need for formed till the ductile
         anchor hold;
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere,

  O my soul.
