The Pleiads follow; and our Ethiop Queen, Emerging from behind her starry screen,
 * Will steep her tresses in the saffron dye

Of dawn, and vanish in the morning sheen.

The secret of the day and night is in The constellations, which forever spin
 * Around each other in the comet-dust;—

The comet-dust and humankind are kin.
