I saw a great inception come to grief

Because today the forces still are hid

Which turn clear thought to sense reality.

’Tis known I drew from spirit-light the thought,

Which, though proved true, yet had no life on earth.

This fact doth witness ’gainst my power to judge

And also kills belief that spirit hides

The source of true creation on the earth.

And ’twill be very difficult to prove

That such experience hath giv’n me power
