The Oxford Book of Canadian Verse

One Consciousness

Albert Durrant Watson (1859–1926)

ONE consciousness is all that is or evermore can be:

Are not the billows of the world one all-embracing sea?

With The Eternal I am one, and only thus am free.

I rise superior to fate; I challenge fear, I forfeit ease.

I stand heroic and elate, and strong amid th’ eternities!
