Orphic Hymn to Heaven (Ouranos) 

Great Heaven [Ouranos], whose mighty frame no respite knows, father of all, from whom the world arose: Hear, bounteous parent, source and end of all, forever whirling round this earthly ball; Abode of Gods, whose guardian power surrounds the eternal World with ever during bounds; Whose ample bosom and encircling folds the dire necessity of nature holds. Ætherial, earthly, whose all-various frame azure and full of forms, no power can tame. All-seeing Heaven, progenitor of Time [Kronos], forever blessed, deity sublime, Propitious on a novel mystic shine, and crown his wishes with a life divine.
