How can I gaze?
What song is that, and what these rays
Of splendour and this rush of wings?
THE STRANGER
These are the new celestial things.
THE BLIND MAN
Round the body of a child
A great dark flame runs wild.
What may this be?
THE STRANGER
Look further, you shall see.
THE BLIND MAN
Out on the sea of time and far away
The Empires sail like ships, and many years
Scatter before them in a mist of spray:
Beyond is mist—when the mist clears -
Enough—Away!—O friend, I would be there!
