THE QUEST. 
 
APART, immutable, unseen, 
Being, before itself had been, 
Became.  Like dew a triple queen 
Shone as the void uncovered : 
The silence of deep height was drawn 
A veil across the silver dawn 
On holy wings that hovered. 
 
The music of three thoughts became 
The beauty, that is one white flame, 
The justice that surpasses shame, 
The victory, the splendour, 
The sacred fountain that is whirled 
From depths beyond that older world 
A new world to engender. 
 
The kingdom is extended.  Night 
Dwells, and I contemplate the sight
