Explore "Divine Visitation" by George William Russell on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The heavens lay hold on us: the starry rays / Fondle with flickering fingers brow and eyes: / A new enchantment lights the ancient skies.
What is it looks between us gaze on gaze?
Does the wild spirit of the endless days / Chase through my heart some lure that ever flies?
Only I know the vast within me cries / Finding in thee the ending of all ways.
Ah, but they vanish; the immortal train / From thee, from me, depart, yet take from thee / Memorial grace: laden with adoration / Forth from this heart they flow that all in vain / Would stay the proud eternal powers that flee / After the chase in burning exultation.
