MIRACLE by LAURA BENET

First Line: MIRACLE'S STAR, TOO BRILLIANT FOR THE BEHOLDING
Last Line: RIDE ON THE FRINGE OF THIS RAINBOW WHILE YET THERE IS TIME.
Subject(s): BLINDNESS; KELLER, HELEN (1880-1968); MIRACLES; STARS; VISUALLY HANDICAPPED;

Miracle's star, too brilliant for the beholding,
Is a hidden lighthouse searching the source of our darkness,
Luminous vision the blind affect, vanishing quickly,
Heaven and earth join hands for the space of a moment --
Ride on the fringe of this rainbow while yet there is time.
