The
World of the Gods |
|||||||
Glimmers
the chandelier-world of the gods, -- A splendour
drawn from the womb of the Vast, Or like
a million flames bursting from the sun A ruby-glow
thrown in each bud-passion of life. It bears
no shadow but under its wings brood Our thoughts,
and awake here our early dawns: Over
this peak towards which climb our sights Summits
of the Eternal lean into Time. Here
enters the primal ray into Ignorance, A wave
that brings to us tidings of the far sea, A storm-speed
that takes the sky to Infinity. Denizens
of this world are our guardian-friends Who
drink honey-wine of the Earth’s sacrifice, -- In their
felicity expands her bosom As though
the Unborn found his beloved. |
God
of Light |

Gold of love drawn into an
inward rapture, All heaven folded in a sapphire
repose, Trance ineffable of a splendoured
silence... His the eagle-poise of superconscient
peace, His the calm of a wide englobing
halo... Lord of the creative, the conquering
force, Smile of the Supreme and the
winning strength, Blaze
noon-intense of the godhead’s
brilliant triumph... His the penance claiming divinity
for man, His
the destiny’s labour with
earth’s heavy load, His the will bringing to soul
the Oversoul... A
brow of gleaming vision’s
mystic expanse, Breast
a diamond-cup of infinity’s
bliss, Sun-feet
strolling on eternity’s
luminous ways, Only a blue-gold Elysian hue
of the High... A Truth-resplendence in tranquil
lotus-name, King and Poet of the supramental
Word! |
