T
Immortal Truth, within whose eyes
Who looks may find the secret of the skies
And healing for life’s smart!’
On heights where lightnings flashed and fell;
I scaled high Heaven; I stormed the gates of Hell,
But Her I never found
A whisper: ‘Here, within thy heart,
I dwell; for I am thou: behold, thou art
The Seeker—and the Sought.’
