A heavenlier passion shall
upheave men's lives,
Their mind shall share in
the ineffable gleam,
Their heart shall feel the
ecstasy and the fire,
Earth's bodies shall be
conscious of a soul;
Mortality's bond-slaves
shall unloose their bonds,
Mere men into spiritual
beings grow
And
see awake the dumb divinity.
(Book Eleven, Canto One)
A secret air of pure
felicity
Deep like a sapphire heaven
our spirits breathe;
Our hearts and bodies feel
its obscure call,
Our senses grope for it and
touch and lose.
If this withdrew, the world
would sink in the Void;
If this were not, nothing
could move or live.
A hidden Bliss is at the
root of things.
Awakened to the meaning of
my heart
That to feel love and
oneness is to live
And this the magic of our
golden change,
Is all the truth I know or
seek, O sage
(Book Twelve)
