THE MANTRA-YOGI
Half skilled to agonise, half skilled to soothe
The passion ineluctable, this power
Slave to its single end, to storm the tower
That holdeth thee, who art Authentic Truth.
O golden hawk ! O lidless eye ! Behold
How the grey creeps upon the shuddering gold !
Still I will strive ! That by the striving broken
I may exhaust this me ! That thou mayst sweep
Swift on the dead from thine all-seeing steep
And the unutterable word be spoken.
