ABSTRACT

Her wings are furled; Her ear is heavy,

She broods on the world. "Who'll tell me my secret,

The ages have kept? — I awaited the seer,

While they slumbered and slept; —

"The fate of the man-child; The meaning of man;

Known fruit of the unknown; Daedalian plan;

Out of sleeping a waking, Out of waking a sleep;

Life death overtaking; Deep underneath deep?
