Agnes Mary Frances Duclaux (Robinson-Darmesteter) (18571944)234. The Idea
B
That rolls in visible deity,
I dream another world is ours
And is the soul of all we see.
It is perchance the Eternal Mind;
Beyond the sense that we inherit
I feel it dim and undefined.
How wide beyond the starry bound
It rolls unconscious and unseeing,
And is as Number or as Sound.
Of all this actual universe,
It moves unswerved by our decisions,
And is the play that we rehearse.
