“Hail holy Light, of spring of Heavn first-born,
Or of th Eternal Coeternal beam
May I express thee unblamd? since God is Light,

Dwelt from Eternitie, dwelt then in thee,
Bright effluence of bright essence in create.
Or hearst thou rather pure Ethereal stream,
Whose Fountain who shall tell?”

Grows from a downy tip;
A terrace nine stories high
Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath ones feet.”
