    Robert Graves
    “When the immense drugged universe explodes
    In a cascade of unendurable colour
    And leaves us gasping naked,
    This is no more than the ectasy of chaos:
    Hold fast, with both hands, to that royal love
    Which alone, as we know certainly, restores
    Fragmentation into true being.

    Ecstasy of Chaos”
    ― Robert Graves, Poems 1965-1968
