Poems By Arjava

SUBTLE beyond all gauging,

Sudden as lightning blade,

Unflawed by earthly aging,

The Woundless, the Undismayed

Back in the world's beginning

Wielded a three-pronged spear,

Unpierced by Falsehood's dinning,

Unswayed by soundless Fear.

Nor Maya-spell's devising

Nor seemings that divide

Dishevelled the assizing

Of the Wakeful Myriad-Eyed ;

But many an eye-filled feather

Gathered in battle-dress

Betokened there together

Serene one-pointed ness.
