And set bars and doors,
And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further;
And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
“Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days began,
And caused the dayspring to know its place?...
“Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea?
Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep? |The Earliest Poem|
Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee?
Or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?
Hast thou comprehended the breadth of the earth?
