Сторінка 175 - Thou wilt not leave us in the dust: Thou madest man, he knows not why, — He thinks he was not made to die; And thou hast made him : thou art just.

Nor death was then, nor deathlessness, not change of night and day, That One breathed calmly, self-sustained ; nought else beyond it lay. Gloom hid in gloom existed first — one sea, eluding view. That one, a void in chaos wrapt, by inward fervour grew.
