I know, but it made me think about the idea that because of the Fall we lost our immortality and have to return to dust. Still a good sonnet.

Very kind, Bhaskar - much appreciated!
It was inspired by the article in American Scholar (you can read it online) magazine about our perceptions of the world. I am really disagreeing with what the guy says in the article about everything depending on a conscious brain for its existence, but it's still a very good article.

Superbly done Tony
Perhaps this one is among your best. Read it thrice to unearth its price. Not only beautifully evocative, but profound and musical as well. Kudos!
