Worship me!” quoth God. ‘‘For I am All- Great, All-Good, All-Wise The stars are but sparks from the forges of My smiths ‘Yea, verily and Amen,” said the Stag-beetle, ‘“all this do I believe, and that devoutly.” ‘*Then why do you not worship Me?” ‘Because lam realand you are only imaginary.” But the leaves of the forest rustled with the laughter of the wind.

No artifice, so straining of the metaphor is involved ; the poet rests in calm and beatific certi- tude of “ a good death, and a joyful resurrection in His holy kingdom ! ” Yet there is no false piety, no arrogance ; and like every straight-living man, he is capable of honest laughter, almost in the same breath.
