Explore "Revealing" by Gilbert Parker on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The prescience of dreams struck walls away / From mortal fact, and mortal fact revealed, / With myriad voices, potencies concealed / In the dim birth-place of a coming day.
Even as a blind man's fingers wander o'er / His harpstrings, led by sound to dreams of sound, / Till in his soul an eloquence profound / Rises above the petulance and roar
Of the great globe: as in a rush of song / From feathered throats, one, in a mighty wood, / 'Mid sweet interpositions moves along
The avenues of some predestined good; / So I, dream-nurtured, standing by the sea, / Made levy on the wonders that should be.
