354. The Quest

FOR years I sought the Many in the One,

I thought to find lost waves and broken rays,

The rainbow’s faded colours in the sun—

The dawns and twilights of forgotten days.

But now I seek the One in every form,

Scorning no vision that a dewdrop holds,

The gentle Light that shines behind the storm,

The Dream that many a twilight hour enfolds.
