To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It came as all others came, — This creature elect. Who knew The hovering wings of flame, The rhythmical retinue 34 THE ASS OF DESTINY That kept the centuried way- Unhindered for its birthday?
'T was born; but who recognized The steed of the Prince of Peace?
It grew; but what man surmised Its worth to the world's increase?
No singular signs it wore.
'T was only an ass, — no more.
At last came the fulness of time; All time to its fulness comes; This scourges the poet's rime To songs of millennium...s.
Who knows where such strain belongs May fashion the ages' songs.
THE ASS OF DESTINY 35 A purpose; a fact to be; Betwixt them long ignorance That counts that the race is free And time and the world are chance, And all that happens fulfils The folly of fugitive wills.
So be it for thee, thou blind To song, and thou deaf to light!
In loftier realms of the mind Eyes hearken and ears have sight; For music and flame are one Where wings of seraphim run.
The prophets are not extinct; Innumerous as the stars They live unbeholden, linked With God past visible bars; 36 THE ASS OF DESTINY They speak; Love hears and affirms Fulfilment in mystic terms.
