THE LOST JEWEL - I held a jewel in my fingers

TWO lengths has every day

TWO lengths has every day,
Its absolute extent–
And area superior
By hope or heaven lent.

At fundamental signals
From fundamental laws.
To die, is not to go–
On doom's consummate chart
No territory new is staked,
Remain thou as thou art.

We learn in the retreating / How vast an one
SUPERIORITY TO FATE - Superiority to fate
Superiority to fate / Is difficult to learn.
