The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX 58. The mountain stirred not. Therefore went the prophet unto the mountain, and spake unto it. But the feet of the prophet were weary, and the mountain heard not his voice. 59. But I have called unto Thee, and I have journeyed unto Thee, and it availed me not. 60. I waited patiently, and Thou wast with me from the beginning. 61. This now I know, O my beloved, and we are stretched at our ease among the vines. 62. But these thy prophets; they must cry aloud and scourge themselves; they must cross trackless wastes and unfathomed oceans; to await Thee is the end, not the be- ginning. 63. Let darkness cover up the writing! Let the scribe depart among his ways. 64. But thou and I are stretched at our ease among the vines; what is he? 65. O Thou beloved One! is there not an end? Nay, but there is an end. Awake! arise! gird up thy limbs, O thou runner; bear thou the Word unto the mighty cities, yea, unto the mighty cities. 76
