FINITE AND INFINITE. - ZaunköniG - 25.12.2007 FINITE AND INFINITE. THE wind sounds only in opposing straits, The sea, beside the shore; man's spirit rends Its quiet only up against the ends Of wants and oppositions, loves and hates, Where, worked and worn by passionate debates, And losing by the loss it apprehends, Its flesh rocks round, and every breath it sends, Is ravelled to a sigh. All tortured states Suppose a straitened place. Jehovah Lord, Make room for rest, around me! Out of sight Now float me, of the vexing land abhorred, Till, in deep calms of space, my soul may right Her nature; shoot large sail on lengthening cord, And rush exultant on the Infinite. |
