And in the Holy Place
It hid His face.
As now He goes, so shall ye see
Him come;—a cloud His canopy.

And a cloud received Him out of their sight.
Acts i, 9.50

All hearts revealing each to each,
The new-found harmony of speech.

And there appeared unto them cloven tongues, like as of fire.
Acts ii, 3.58

Thee, Mother-Queen of Heaven,He crowned,
And not for love alone;
For in thy bosom first
He found
The life-spring of His own.

There appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.
