Explore "Here and Now" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Here, in the heart of the world, / Here, in the noise and the din, / Here, where our spirits were hurled / To battle with sorrow and sin, / This is the place and the spot / For knowledge of infinite things / This is the kingdom where Thought / Can conquer the prowess of kings
Wait for no heavenly life, / Seek for no temple alone; / Here, in the midst of the strife, / Know what the sages have known. / See what the Perfect Ones saw- / God in the depth of each soul, / God as the light and the law, / God as beginning and goal.
