The balance of the world's design grew clear... Its logic of infinite intelligence, Its magic of a changing eternity. A glimpse was caught of things forever unknown; The letters stood out of the unmoving Word. In the immutable nameless Origin Was seen emerging as from fathomless seas The trail of the Ideas that made the world, And, sown in the black earth of Nature's trance, The seed of the Spirit's blind and huge desire From which the tree of cosmos was conceived And spread its magic arms through a dream of space. Immense realities took on a shape: There looked out from the shadow of the Unknown The bodiless Namelessness that saw God born And tries to gain from the mortal's mind and soul A deathless body and a divine name.
