by Unknown

Like one great garden show’d,

And thro’ the wreaths of floating dark upcurl’d

Rare sunrise flow’d.

Tennyson.

Dark, dark, yea, irrecoverably dark,

Is the soul’s eye; yet how it strives and battles

Through the impenetrable gloom to fix

That master light, the secret truth of things,

Which is the body of the infinite God.

Arthur H. Hallam.
