ALL TO ALL.

MANY are your disguises. ’Tis in vain

We seek to bind you in our forms of thought.

You change from sea to cloud, for cloud to rain.

Your One is manifold. Your All is nought.

Smiling assent, you cancel Yes with No.

Matching our moods, you baffle our pursuit.

Pageant or panorama. Ceaseless flow

Of changeful Life, or changeless Absolute.

For sense-bound reason you are dumb and blind,

Lifeless and soulless, dead though infinite:

And you are Truth for the adventurous mind:

And Beauty for the spirit’s inward sight.

For wondering awe you are the Stars above:

And for the heart that loves you, you are Love.
