Urizen saw & envied & his imagination was filled
Repining he contemplated the past in his bright sphere
Terrified with his heart & spirit at the visions of
futurity
That his dread fancy formd before him in the unformd void
For Now Los & Enitharmon walkd forth on the dewy Earth
Contracting or expanding their all flexible senses
At will to murmur in the flowers small as the honey bee
At will to stretch across the heavens & step from star to star
Or standing on the Earth erect, or on the stormy waves
Driving the storms before them or delighting in sunny beams
While round their heads the Elemental Gods kept harmony

Where scoffing sophists brawl,

we praised--
The night is on them all.

Therein I treasure the spice and scent
Of rich and passionate
memories
blent
Like odours of cinnamon, sandal and clove,
Of song and sorrow and life and love.

The blank interstices
Men take for ruins, He will build into
With pillared marbles rare, or knit across
With

Victor Hugo - Poems |
|
The great key to the mystery is,
perhaps, the imperfection of our own faculties, which see and feel
strongly the partial evils which press upon us, but know too little of
the general system of the universe, to be aware how the existence of
these is to be reconciled with the
benevolence
of the great Creator.
