Seite 308 - Immense have been the preparations for me. Faithful and friendly the arms that have help'd me. Cycles ferried my cradle, rowing and rowing like cheerful boatmen, For room to me stars kept aside in their own rings, They sent influences to look after what was to hold me.
Seite 313 - Shall any gazer see with mortal eyes, Or any searcher know by mortal mind ; Veil after veil will lift — but there must be Veil upon veil behind.
Seite 367 - God; from his inmost heart awakens him to all nobleness,— to all knowledge, "selfknowledge" and much else, so soon as Work fitly begins. Knowledge? The knowledge that will hold good in working, cleave thou to that; for Nature herself accredits that, says Yea to that.
