That Spirit Bloweth And Is Still - C.E. Montegue

[Larry Robinson]


That Spirit Bloweth And Is Still

It will not rise for our whistling or keep a timetable.
No wine that we know can give us anything more
Than a fugitive caricature of its ecstasies.
While it has blown free we remember it always.
 
And we know without proof that while the rapture was there,
We were not drunk but wise, that for a moment
Some intervening darkness had thinned,
And we were seeing further than we can see now into the heart of life.

- C. E. Montegue




"Be joyful though you have considered all the facts."
