Explore "The Meeting" by Gilbert Parker on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
O marvel of our nature, that one life / Strikes through the thousand lives that fold it round, / To find another, even as a sound / Sweeps to a song through elemental strife!
Through cycles infinite the forces wait, / Which destiny has set for union here; / No circumstance can warp them from their sphere; / They meet sometime; and this is God and Fate.
And God is Law, and Fate is Law in use, / And we are acted on by some deep cause, / Which sanctifies "I will" and "I refuse,"
When Love speaks -- Love, the peaceful end of Laws.
And I, from many conflicts over-past, / Find here Love, Law, and God, at last.
