13. Star Teachers
E
The plumes of paradise, the dying light
Rays through the fevered air in misty spires
That vanish in the heights.
Wandering beneath them I have found again
The ancient ample moment, the divine,
The God-root within men.
As symbols shine that we the true light win:
For every star and every deep they fill
Are stars and deeps within.
