Explore "Desire" by George William Russell on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
With thee a moment! Then what dreams have play!
Traditions of eternal toil arise, / Search for the high austere and lonely way / The Spirit moves in through eternities.
Ah, in the soul what memories arise!
And with what yearning inexpressible, / Rising from long forgetfulness I turn / To Thee, invisible, unrumoured, still: / White for Thy whiteness all desires burn.
Ah, with what longing once again I turn!
