First Line: Standing beyond time
Last Line: Standing beyond time.
Subject(s): Earth; History; World; Historians


Standing beyond Time,
As the Earth to the bodies of all men gives footing and free passage, yet
draws them to itself with final overmastering force, and is their bodies—
So I their souls.

I am the ground of thy soul;
And I am that which draw thee unbeknown—veiled Eros Visitor of thy
long night-time;
And I that give thee form from ancient ages,
Thine own—yet in due time to return to Me
Standing beyond Time.
