DEDICATION TO 'MYSTICS ALL' by ENID MAUD DINNIS

First Line: EYES THAT SEEING CANNOT FILL
Last Line: ONCE UPON ETERNITY.
Subject(s): STORY-TELLING;

@3"The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor is the ear filled with hearing."@1

Eyes that seeing cannot fill--
Eyes that seek for vision still
In a world where few men fare,
Peering through the mystic's grill:

Ears a-strain for more than sound --
Ears that long-sought things had found
Trespassing 'twixt Here and There
In the Seer's Tom Tiddler's Ground:

Hearts that seek a sturdier sooth
Than the tales of love-lorn youth,
Viewing life's fantastic span
From the angel's side of truth.

Take these "mystic" tales from me --
Things that happened, it might be,
In the wondrous heart of man
Once upon eternity.
