Henceforth his Bible should be one inscribed

Directly with the law—the Book of Earth.

THE TESTIMONY OF THE ROCKS

I saw him climbing like a small dark speck

—Fraught with what vast significance to the world—

Among the snow-capt Andes, a dark point

Of travelling thought, alone upon the heights,

To watch the terrible craters as they breathed

Their smouldering wrath against the sky.
