“Before the beginning of years
There came to the making of man
Time, with a gift of tears;

Unless I break it with the thrusting
Of my senses and pass through
The splintered walls to the great landscape.”

He dwelt a little with us, and withdrew;
Black and unblossomed were the ways he knew,
Dark was the glass through which his fire eye shined.”
