That night of spiritual silencesWe found love's inmost silence, where the days
Are silent, where the perishable phrase
Of song is silent, and where silence is
Like light along majestic distances
Opened before the soul's unswerving gaze ...
Where life is silent, and the blatant ways
Of life, and life's divine uncertainties ...
There we beheld the dark enigmas yield
In silence, and in silence truth appear,
Stainless as star-light on a silver shield ...
And still we felt, as in transcendent skies
Beyond the mind's last outpost, calm and clear,
Silence and glittering tranquillities. ...
