Poems By Arjava

NOW the upward flight

Of the wide-winged eagle-headed being

Breaks through the last thin layer

Of rack and dimness,

And pinions spirit-ward

Through wide fields of sun-drenched ether

Passing from the lighted way

To the Self-Subsistent Light,—

Immortal Flame of knowledge that is perfect love,

Heart's un flickering glow made one with shadow less Sight.
