by Cosmos III [Excerpt]

Sublimely
Stirred by the magnificent zenith of the marvelous
Sunrise
Sagas of the Taiping Rebels dazzling and
Subversive aurora borealis display and in the romantic
Spirit of legendary monster—slayers of ancient epochs,
Sun Yat-Sen was that providential Chung kuo “Morning
Star,” a chosen heavenly
Son born on the twelfth day of the
Sterling eleventh month of the “Moon of Falling Leaves”
Simultaneously the three hundredth and
Sixteenth day and the forty
Sixth Monday in the Year of the
Siberian tiger in the
Sixty
Sixth year of the nineteenth century in
Synchronous timing with the
Steadfast celestial Leonid meteor
Showers from the eighteen hundred and
Sixty
Sixth Comet One.
