Let be, awhile!’[This is the doctrine he was wont to teach,How divers persons witness in each man,Three souls which make up one soul: first, to wit,A soul of each and all the bodily parts,Seated therein, which works, and is what Does,And has the use of earth, and ends the manDownward: but, tending upward for advice,Grows into, and again is grown into[90] By the next soul, which, seated in the brain,Useth the first with its collected use,And feeleth, thinketh, willeth, – is what Knows:Which, duly... tending upward in its turn,Grows into, and again is grown intoBy the last soul, that uses both the first,Subsisting whether they assist or no,And, constituting man’s self, is what Is –And leans upon the former, makes it play,As that played off the first: and, tending up,[100] Holds, is upheld by, God, and ends the manUpward in that dread point of intercourse,Nor needs a place, for it returns to Him.What Does, what Knows, what Is; three souls, one man.I give the glossa of Theotypas.]And then, ‘A stick, once fire from end to end;Now, ashes save the tip that holds a spark!Yet, blow the spark, it runs back, spreads itselfA little where the fire was: thus I urgeThe soul that served me, till it task once more[110] What ashes of my brain have kept their shape,And these make effort on the last o’ the flesh,Trying to taste again the truth of things –’(He smiled) – ‘their very superficial truth;As that ye are my sons, that it is longSince James and Peter had release by death,And I am only he, your brother John,Who saw and heard, and could remember all.Remember all!
