Jacob Boehme, by-gone mystic, gifted with a strange insight,

As I read your yellowed pages, which in former times were white,

And review my men and women, half I deem that you were right.


THE HOLY NAME

’TIS said when pious Moslem walk abroad,

If on the path they spy a floating bit

Of paper, reverently they turn aside

And shun the scrap, nor set a foot on it,
