14. Thy face is as a sword smiting in sunder

Shadows and chains and dreams and iron things;
The sea is dumb before thy face, the thunder
Silent, the skies are narrower than thy wings.

15. All old gray histories hiding thy clear features, O secret spirit and sovereign, all men's tales, Creeds woven of men, thy children and thy creatures,

They have woven for vestures of thee and for veils.

A Light

Will struggle through these thronging words at last, As in the angry and tumultuous West

A soft star trembles through the drifting clouds.
