Hours with the Mystics: A Contribution to the History of Religious Opinion

by Robert Alfred Vaughan

Have made come in a water and a barge,

And in the halle rowen up and down.

Sometime hath semed come a grim leoun,

And sometime floures spring as in a mede,

Sometime a vine and grapes white and rede,

Sometime a castel all of lime and ston,

And whan hem liketh voideth it anon.

Thus semeth it to every mannes sight.

Chaucer.

Give me thy hand, terrestrial; so:—Give me thy hand, celestial; so.
