Excerpt from New Aspects of Life and Religion "If thou art base and earthly, then despair. Thou art but mortal as the brute that falls. Birds weave their nests, the lion finds a lair, Man builds his halls, - These are but coverts from earth's war and storm, Homes where our lesser lives take shape and breath; But, if no heavenly man has grown, what form Clothes thee at death? And when thy meed of penalty is o'er, And fire has burnt the dross, where gold is none, Shall separate life, but wasted heretofore, Still linger on? God fills all space; whatever doth offend From His unbounded Presence shall be spurned; Or deem'st thou He should garner tares, whose end Is to be burned? If thou wouldst see the Power that round thee sways, In whom all motion, thought, and life are cast, Know, that the pure, who travel heavenward ways, See God at last."
