The Mighty Spirit of All hath scorned me,

And Nature from her secrets spurned me:

My thread of thought is rent in twain,

All science I loathe with its wranglings vain.

In the depths of sensual joy, let us tame

Our glowing passion’s restless flame!

In magic veil, from unseen hand,

Be wonders ever at our command!

Plunge we into the rush of Time!

Into Action’s rolling main!
