All things ephemeral cast a mere likeness,

What was frustration now finds its fullness,

Once indescribable, now undeniable

She, ever-womanly, hoists us on high

I didn't think I'd find myself coming up with new versions of the ending of Goethe's Faust tonight after a couple too many beers.

Thanks for the prompt, Natasha.
