I have drunk deep of God’s own liberty

From which an occult sovereignty derives:

Hidden in an earthly garment that survives,

I am the worldless being vast and free.

A moment stamped with that supremacy

Has rescued me from cosmic hooks and gyves;

Abolishing death and time my nature lives

In the deep heart of immortality.

God’s contract signed with Ignorance is torn;

Time has become the Eternal’s endless year,

My soul’s wide self of living infinite Space

Outlines its body luminous and unborn

Behind the earth-robe; under the mask grows clear

The mould of an imperishable face.
