43.

'Twas always so, and will be without end;
We cannot pierce eternity of Past
To find beginning, nor the future rend
To find the final goal to which we tend,
But be content to know that, first and last,
All was and will be as we find it now,
Changed only in condition, which is fast
Revolving the kaleidoscope to show
How multiform the Being first on earth we know.
