There is no darkness,
we only close our eyes and shut out the Light;
There is no pain,
it is only our shrinking from an intense
and unwelcome Delight;
there is no death,
it is only our dread of the Life Eternal
that comes back upon us and smites us.
Our senses are tremulous and fearsome
and cling to the empty littlenesses
of the surface moment,
they heed not the vast surges of Infinitude
that sweep and pass by.
