"The Convergence of the Twain“
And as the smart ship grew
In stature, grace, and hue,
In shadowy silent distance grew the Iceberg too. Alien they seemed to be;
No mortal eye could see
The intimate welding of their later history,
Or sign that they were bent
By paths coincident
On being anon twin halves of one august event,
Till the Spinner of the Years
Said "Now!" And each one hears,
And consummation comes, and jars
two hemispheres.
- Thomas Hardy
The tip of the iceburg, as the saying goes…
LOVE that he used the word ANON (9th line, 3rd word). This poem feels prophetic to me, I interpret many layers to its meaning (sign that they were bent - because they are bent/corrupt), and one thing for sure, when the iceburg is revealed for what it truly is, when “consumation comes”, it
will MOST CERTAINLY “ Jar Two Hemispheres.
Peace be with you all, WWG1WGA,

I'd never heard this poem before so I looked it up as it appeared to be about the Titanic and it is. I am occasionally touched by poetry. The way this is written, in it's original form, is really quite beautiful. I don't know the official terms that describe the rhythm of a poem and where and when it rhymes but I love this one. Knowing what we know about who was on the Titanic and the 'cui bono' thread (somebody say Rockefeller) makes this even more interesting. Thank you for posting.

Thank You (truly, it’s kind words and thoughts like these that have kept me going in every way)!!! I’m working on a longer pretty in depth one (and have been every chance I can get) that I can’t wait to share.
