      That captures the movements of the cosmic vasts,

      In the sketch precise of an ideal face

      Forgotten was her eyelashes’ dream-print

      Carrying on their curve infinity’s dreams,

      Lost the alluring marvel of her eyes;

      The surging wave-throbs of her vast sea-heart

      They bound to a theorem of ordered beats:

      Her deep designs which from herself she had veiled

      Bowed self-revealed in their confessional.

      For the birth and death of the worlds they fixed a date,

      The diameter of infinity was drawn,

      Measured the distant arc of the unseen heights

      And visualised the plumbless viewless depths,

      Till all seemed known that in all time could be.

      All was coerced by number, name and form;

      Nothing was left untold, incalculable.

      Yet was their wisdom circled with a nought:

      Truths they could find and hold but not the one Truth:

      The Highest was to them unknowable.

      By knowing too much they missed the whole to be known:

      The fathomless heart of the world was left unguessed

      And the Transcendent kept its secrecy.

      In a sublimer and more daring soar

      To the wide summit of the triple stairs

      Bare steps climbed up like flaming rocks of gold

      Burning their way to a pure absolute sky.

      August and few the sovereign Kings of Thought

      Have made of Space their wide all-seeing gaze

      Surveying the enormous work of Time:

      A breadth of all-containing Consciousness

      Supported Being in a still embrace.

      Intercessors with a luminous Unseen,

      They capt in the long passage to the world

      The imperatives of the creator Self

      Obeyed by unknowing earth, by conscious heaven;

      Their thoughts are partners in its vast control.

      A great all-ruling Consciousness is there

      And Mind unwitting serves a higher Power;

      It is a channel, not the source of all.

      The cosmos is no accident in Time;

      There is a meaning in each play of Chance,

      There is a freedom in each face of Fate.

      A Wisdom knows and guides the mysteried world;

      A Truth-gaze shapes its beings and events;

      A Word self-born upon creation’s heights,

      Voice of the Eternal in the temporal spheres,

      Prophet of the seeings of the Absolute,

      Sows the Idea’s significance in Form

      And from that seed the growths of Time arise.

      On peaks beyond our ken the All-Wisdom sits:

      A single and infallible look comes down,

      A silent touch from the supernal’s air

      Awakes to ignorant knowledge in its acts

      The secret power in the inconscient depths,

      Compelling the blinded Godhead to emerge,

      Determining Necessity’s nude dance

      As she passes through the circuit of the hours

      And vanishes from the chase of finite eyes

      Down circling vistas of aeonic Time.

      The unseizable forces of the cosmic whirl

      Bear in their bacchant limbs the fixity

      Of an original foresight that is Fate.

      Even Nature’s ignorance is Truth’s instrument;

      Our struggling ego cannot change her course:

      Yet is it a conscious power that moves in us,

      A seed-idea is parent of our acts

      And destiny the unrecognised child of Will.

      Infallibly by Truth’s directing gaze

      All creatures here their secret self disclose,

      Forced to become what in themselves they hide.

      For He who Is grows manifest in the years

      And the slow Godhead shut within the cell

      Climbs from the plasm to immortality.

      But hidden, but denied to mortal grasp,

      Mystic, ineffable is the spirit’s truth,

      Unspoken, caught only by the spirit’s eye.

      When naked of ego and mind it hears the Voice;

      It looks through light to ever greater light

      And sees Eternity ensphering Life.

      This greater Truth is foreign to our thoughts;

      Where a free Wisdom works, they seek for a rule;

      Or we only see a tripping game of Chance

      Or a labour in chains forced by bound Nature’s law,

      An absolutism of dumb unthinking Power.

      Audacious in their sense of God-born strength

      These dared to grasp with their thought Truth’s absolute;

      By an abstract purity of godless sight,

      By
