VIA LUCIS, by HOWARD CHANDLER ROBBINS First Line: And have the bright immensities Last Line: There heavenly splendors shine. Subject(s): Religion; Theology | ||||||||
And have the bright immensities Received our risen Lord Where light-years frame the Pleiades And point Orion's way? Do flaming suns His footsteps trace Through corridors sublime, The Lord of interstellar space And Conqueror of time? The heaven that hides Him from our sight Knows neither near nor far: An altar candles sheds its light As surely as a star; And where His loving people meet To share the gift divine, There stands He with unhurrying feet, There heavenly splendors shine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY VILLON IN PRISON by HOWARD CHANDLER ROBBINS DOMESDAY BOOK: HENRY BAKER, AT NEW YORK by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
