From a Dream-book 



Lo ! I, too, die that I may live : these my waters 

 have passed, and will pass again, with wrecks of 

 innumerable worlds to the burning of innumerable 

 suns. I, too, am multiple unspeakably: dead 

 tides of millions of oceans revive in mine ebb and 

 flow. Suffice thee to learn that only because 

 thou wast thou art, and that because thou art thou 

 wilt become again." 



Muttered the Wave, 



" I cannot understand." 



Answered the Sea, 



"Thy part is to pulse and pass, never to 

 understand. I also, even I, the great Sea, do 

 not understand. ..." 



Fr. II 



..." The stones and the rocks have felt ; the 

 winds have been breath and speech ; the rivers 

 and oceans of earth have been locked into cham 

 bers of hearts. And the palingenesis cannot 

 cease till every cosmic particle shall have passed 

 through the uttermost possible experience of the 

 highest possible life." 



" But what of the planetary core? has that, 

 too, felt and thought?"
