Then thought I, What are we, that He who fashions for- [30]

ever such forms and hues of heaven, should move our [1]

brush or pen to paint frail fairness or to weave a web

of words that glow with gladdening gleams of God, so

unapproachable, and yet so near and full of radiant relief

in clouds and darkness! [5]
