God and the Universe
from The Death of OEnone, and Other Poems, 1892
- Will my tiny spark of being wholly vanish in your deeps and heights?
- Must my days be dark by reason, O ye Heavens, of your boundless nights,
- Rush of Suns, and roll of systems, and your fiery clash of meteorites?
- "Spirit, nearing yon dark portal at the limit of thy human state,
- Fear not thou the hidden purpose of that Power which alone is great,
- Nor the myriad world, His shadow, nor the silent Opener of the Gate."
Alfred Tennyson (1809 - 1892)
