if night is equal daylight at point of victory or sliding defeat: darkness, in balance, has singular triumph in coming alone to the table set with lilies.

I've read this poem over and over, and every time I get something different out of it. This is one of those instances where I may not fully grasp or clearly understand the full import what is being said â indeed, I may not have the capacity â but the poem is so beautifully crafted that I donât care. Gorgeous.
