And is so far withdrawn from outward sense,

Be manifest in matter which is drawn,

As drawn it must be, from the realm of sense?

This question have I asked myself full oft.

Yet when I banish personality,

And follow spirit-teaching faithfully,

And feel myself caught up in blessedness

Unto creative forces of the worlds,

At once belief awakens in an art

As true and mystic as our spirit-quest.
