Explore "Knowledge" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Would you believe in Presences Unseen- / In life beyond this earthly life? / BE STILL: Be stiller yet; and listen. Set the screen / Of silence at the portal of your will. / Relax, and let the world go by unheard. / And seal your lips with some all-sacred word.
Breathe ‘God,' in any tongue-it means the same; / LOVE ABSOLUTE: Think, feel, absorb the thought; / Shut out all else; until a subtle flame / (A spark from God's creative centre caught) / Shall permeate your being, and shall glow, / Increasing in its splendour, till, YOU KNOW.
Not in a moment, or an hour, or day / The knowledge comes; the power is far too great, / To win in any desultory way. / No soul is worthy till it learns to wait. / Day after day be patient, then, oh, soul; / Month after month-till, lo! the goal! the goal!
