11

Not the round natural world, not the deep mind, (A)The reconcilement holds: the blue abyss (B)Collects it not; our arrows sink amiss (B)And but in Him may we our import find. (A)The agony to know, the grief, the bliss (B)Of toil, is vain and vain: clots of the sod (C)Gathered in heat and haste and flung behind (A)To blind ourselves and others, what but this (B)Still grasping dust and sowing toward the wind? (B)No more thy meaning seek, thine anguish plead, (D)But leave straining thought and stammering word, (E)Across the barren azure pass to God: (C)Shooting the void in silence like a bird, (E)A bird that shuts his wings for better speed. (D)

In deepest pitch this wilderness is pure.Though mini-marts and parking lots may swell,the wired gods of green will lend a cure: Only those gone insane will be made well,Only those who lack vision made to see.So mark ye well the height and breadth of shameThat blinded Oedipus; for none are free. That torched Icarus, where is the flame.And winged Daedalus will rise againWith pinions forged of steel and eyes ablaze.So strong and yet so frail like the eggs of a henWe wander, mapless, through the treacherous mazeEyes often sightless to vivid beautyOur guilty senses lie in mutiny.
