“The Soul of Man is the candle of the Lord.”
—Phillips Brooks.
XXXVIII
INTERMEZZO—THE VOICE IN NATURE
Cathedral Orchestra and Organ.
Chorus, with Divine Solos.
O Man! Blessed is thine inquisitiveness—to learn and to know:
Cursed is thine inquisition of others.
O Man! Blessed is thy longing—to look upwards and beyond:
Cursed is thy willingness to sink downwards;
Where vice brings vileness in its train.
