My Aunt just passed this to me today. Totally digging it.
Each second the Earth is struck hard
by four and a half pounds of sunlight.
Each second.
Try to imagine that.
No wonder deep shade is what the soul longs for,
And not, as we always thought, the light.
From "In Praise of Thomas Hardy" in Bye-and-Bye: Selected Late Poems.
