(31) Up from Earth’s Centre through the Seventh Gate

I rose, and on the Throne of Saturn[63] sate,

And many a Knot unravel’d by the Road;

But not the Master-knot of Human Fate.—

(32) There was the Door to which I found no Key;

There was the Veil through which I might not see:

Some little talk awhile of Me and Thee

There was—and then no more of Thee and Me.[64]

(33) Earth could not answer; nor the Seas that mourn

In flowing Purple, of their Lord forlorn;
