1833 Meteor Shower, wood engraving by Adolf Vollmy c1888
You have pierced my soul
With the voices of angels
And the drone of ancient chants
I cannot hide from your beauty
It shatters and lays bare my heart
I have no protection from the onslaught
Of the battering ram against my broken bones
My body quivers and dies
I rejoice in the conquering
The Light of Light
The Sound of Sound
Emanates within and without
I am no more
