Orion still
hunting the
Pleiades still
gracing
the night sky and Sirius -
ablaze with light -
still witness
to all this
while you
see everything
for the first time
and I am glad
you see it

"The moon and the Pleiades have set,
it is midnight,
and the time is passing,
but I sleep alone."
This is the Midnight Poem, an ancient fragment of poetry, author unknown.
I come across it while thinking about the Alhambra, the court with the lion fountain... a poem in the wall... and then the poem mentions the Pleiades... and then I look out of my bedroom window and see it. Speechless.
