US poet Louise Glück received the Nobel Prize for Literature last week "for her unmistakable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal." (The Nobel Prize in Literature 2020. NobelPrize.org. Nobel Media AB 2020. Mon. 12 Oct 2020. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/literature/2020/summary/) Amidst the deep divisiveness and anxiety of this time, this poem offers a reminder both of the beauty of the stars and our place in relation to them:

“The Evening Star”
by Louise Glück
Tonight, for the first time in many years,
there appeared to me again
a vision of the earth’s splendor:
in the evening sky
the first star seemed
to increase in brilliance
as the earth darkened
until at last it could grow no darker.
And the light, which was the light of death,
seemed to restore to earth
its power to console. There were
no other stars. Only the one
whose name I knew
as in my other life I did her
injury: Venus,
star of the early evening,
to you I dedicate
my vision, since on this blank surface
you have cast enough light
to make my thought
visible again.
