Show INFINITY. By Florence Wilkinson. Earth's pangs and pains, they kiss or stab A puny dwindling exaltation, But, oh, the spheral agony! To listen at night and understand The small steps of eternity! To smile and see At one's doom-hour, maybe, The star-sown Road Of a trans-spectral unity Curving across men's sleeping hands Its wakeful arched illumination. To capture once The speechless language, The haunting flash Of death's hushed fulminatlon! Once to have heard, once to have heard The first seed's arrogation The ultimate Challenge, The flying Word, And then to follow, follow, Beyond the farthest god's flame-darkened habitation. hab-itation.
