DEDICATION TO 'MYSTICS ALL', by                    
First Line: Eyes that seeing cannot fill
Last Line: Once upon eternity.
Subject(s): Story-telling


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

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.
