How like a ship upon a shoreless main
I voyage with dread blank on every side.
A grey monotony of chilly rain
Unchangingly along the changing tide
Heaves hugely . . . yet, within myself I hide
Eternal voyagers who seek again
The light, more beautiful than any bride,
Starring stupendous heavens without a stain.
Billow on clashing billow, see me climb
Each time with greater sureness than before,
While the wide challenging waters round me chime
Enormous rhythms of the Evermore.
And since the ship takes no account of time,
Mileage exists not, nor a sense of shore.
