THE QUEST by EVA GORE-BOOTH

First Line: FOR YEARS I SOUGHT THE MANY IN THE ONE
Last Line: THE DREAM THAT MANY A TWILIGHT HOUR ENFOLDS.
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
For years I sought the Many in the One,
I thought to find lost waves and broken rays,
The rainbow's faded colors in the sun,
The dawns and twilights of forgotten days.

But now I seek the One in every form,
Scorning no vision that a dewdrop holds,
The gentle Light that shines behind the storm,
The Dream that many a twilight hour enfolds.
