hidden intentions forseen from afar set in the dark tracks in the stone to posterity through cloisters with empty streams a desert of aged rivers folds of nothingness now run cold treasures like rain in abundance lies unnoticed customs rites inscribed without counsel an eternal mandate to interpret given honour crowned by command by order from on high among us the genteel giving way wise to please acquainted with justice models in reason upon their own course: practised analysis carried out answers to this current age: precarious colleagues in everything else so doing growing in reserve wisdom mistaken at large original sincere an analogy repeated appears suspended derived with censured motives uncombed wholly simulated yet capable of lasting enquiry liberty prohibited without a whisper rebellion in ignorance opens the door of history to the impossible authentic conscience a theory so many mark but do not listen yet at the end of it can only weep year later an obstacle remembered now destroyed in affections furrow a doorway to the cross: a suitable place the winged cloud talked of in conversation thought to be cast down yet an indesructible word now still in flower in the half-light of beauty bringing light vineyards of branches gild the moment highlights on a scale of importance bringing equity from heaven: declaimed scripture matter to contend &advance the picture with courage an example for the next time
