A fire shall come out of the infinitudes,
A greater Gnosis shall regard the world
Crossing out of some far omniscience
On lustrous seas from the still rapt Alone
To illumine the deep heart of the self and things.
A timeless knowledge it shall bring to Mind,
Its aim to life, to Ignorance its close.
(Book Two, Canto Ten)
Yet shall there glow on mind like a horned moon
The spirit’s crescent splendour in pale skies
And light man’s life upon his Godward road.
But more there is concealed in God’s Beyond
That shall one day reveal its hidden face.
(Book Eleven, Canto One)
