Click hereBy the stars,
Ptolemaeus,
By the stars,
You will know,
When they shall come.
Come from lands near,
and far away...
So very far away.
And on that day,
Ptolemaeus,
On that day,
That they shall come,
You will know,
That my empire is undone.
I like the repetition and sounds of the poem, but the phrases that are repeated are kind of empty. They don't really help me understand the warning that the poem wants to deliver. You know what I mean? It sounds urgent. It sounds lovely at the same time. But, I can't define what "it" is.
