AD ASTRA: 150 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: THE INFINITE CONCEIT,' ANOTHER CRIES
Last Line: A WHIRLING MOTE SPLAY'D FROM LIFE'S GLITTERING WHEEL!'
Subject(s): GOD; LIFE;

'The infinite conceit,' another cries,
'Of fellowship and close commune with God!
O look on all the life beneath the skies,
The unconsecrated hosts that here have trod,
The myriads yet unshapen from the clod,
Then selfwards—and what doth thy search reveal?
A whirling mote splay'd from Life's glittering wheel!'
