And yet it stirs no fear within our heart, but only silent reverence and pity. AND YET IT STIRS NO FEAR WITHIN OUR HEART BUT ONLY SILENT REVERENCE AND PITY
e lifted the Golden One in our arms and we carried them to a bed, their head falling softly upon our shoulder. Then we lit a candle, and we brought paper from the room of the manuscripts, and we sat by the window, for we knew that we could not sleep tonight. And now we look upon the earth and sky. This spread of naked rock and peaks and moonlight is like a world ready to be born, a world that waits. It seems to us it asks a sign from us, a spark, a first commandment. We cannot know what word we are to give, nor what great deed this earth expects to witness. We know it waits. It seems to say it has great gifts to lay before us, but it wishes a greater gift for us. We are to speak. We are to give its goal, its highest meaning to all this glowing space of rock and sky. We look ahead, we beg our heart for guidance in answering this call no voice has spoken, yet we have heard. We look upon our hands. We see the dust of centuries, the dust which hid the great secrets and perhaps great evils. L ASLEEP ON THE FLOOR AMIDST JEWELS AND BOTTLES OF CRYSTAL AND FLOWERS OF SILK WE LIFTED THE GOLDEN ONE IN OUR ARMS AND WE CARRIED THEM TO A BED THEIR HEAD FALLING SOFTLY UPON OUR SHOULDER THEN WE LIT A CANDLE AND WE BROUGHT PAPER FROM THE ROOM OF THE MANUSCRIPTS AND WE SAT BY THE WINDOW FOR WE KNEW THAT WE COULD NOT SLEEP TO NIGHT AND NOW WE LOOK UPON THE EARTH AND THE SKY THIS SPREAD OF NAKED ROCK AND PEAKS IN MOONLIGHT IS LIKE A WORLD READY TO BE BORN IT SEEMS TO US IT ASKS A SIGN FROM US A SPARK A FIRST COMMANDMENT WE CANNOT KNOW WHAT WORD WE ARE TO GIVE NOR WHAT GREAT DEED THIS EARTH EXPECTS TO WITNESS WE KNOW IT WAITS IT SEEMS TO SAY IT HAS GREAT GIFTS TO LAY BEFORE US WE ARE TO SPEAK WE ARE TO GIVE ITS GOAL ITS HIGHEST MEANING TO ALL THIS GLOWING SPACE OF ROCK AND SKY WE LOOK AHEAD WE BEG OUR HEART FOR GUIDANCE IN ANSWERING THIS CALL NO VOICE HAS SPOKEN YET WE HAVE HEARD WE LOOK UPON OUR HANDS WE SEE THE DUSTS OF CENTURIES THE DUST WHICH HID GREAT SECRETS AND PERHAPS GREAT EVILS
