The very God! think, Abib; dost thou think?

So, the All-Great were the All-Loving too—

So, through the thunder comes a human voice

Saying: "O heart I made, a heart beats here!

Face, my hands fashioned, see it in myself!

Thou hast no power, nor may'st conceive of mine,

But love I gave thee, with myself to love,

And thou must love me who have died for thee!"—

The madman saith He said so; it is strange.
