All in All
Did God create you? Nay, but you are God.You are yourself your cause, your end, your way:
You are the will, the word, the measuring-rod,
The lord of night, the fountain-head of day.
Omnipotent, eternal, self-evolved,
Self-centred, self-sufficing, self-renewed:—
In your own being is your problem solved;
Through your own travail is your aim pursued.
Why do we look beyond you? Time and space,
Nature and supernature, source and goal,
Primal perfection and the fall from grace,—
Are they not all encircled by your soul?
Is not your good the standard of all worth?
Is not your life an everlasting birth?
