For still defying distance, day and night

The spires like beckoning fingers seem to rise,

The bells to call, as perished voices might,

“Love is not dead, Beloved; love never dies!”


TEMPERAMENTS

JACOB BOEHME, Sage and Mystic, wert thou right or wert thou wrong,

In believing and upholding that all human souls belong

To some elemental structure, be they weak or be they strong?
