Poems and dramas of George Cabot Lodge | ||
75
[XV
With life and lips he said tremendous things]
With life and lips he said tremendous things!Yet, when he died, I most recalled the smile
Which day by day he gave us to beguile
The crude disaster of our sufferings.
He knew what we believed or half-believed:
How from the Lakes of Hell the fabled springs
Rise to his lips who most divinely sings,
Who, tried in truth, has most superbly lived.
Therefore his calm lips smiled because he stood,
And we beheld him stand, in loneliness,
Lost in the shadow of Eternity;
Therefore at last his eyes revealed the mood,
Thro' mortal passion and sublime distress,
Of one reborn into divinity!
