4×4×4×4
Into this Universe, and why not knowing,
Nor whence, like Water willy-nilly flowing:
And out of it, as Wind along the Waste,
I know not whither, willy-nilly blowing
Heav'n but the Vision of fulfill'd Desire,
And Hell the Shadow of a soul on fire,
Cast on the Darkness into which Ourselves,
So late emerg'd from, shall so soon expire
Into this Universe, and why not knowing,
Nor whence, like Water willy-nilly flowing:
And out of it, as Wind along the Waste
When you and I behind the Veil are past,
Oh, but the long, long while the World shall last,
Which of our coming and Departure heeds
As the Sea's self should head a pebble-cast
Heav'n but the Vision of fulfill'd Desire,
And Hell the Shadow of a soul on fire,
Cast on the Darkness into which Ourselves,
So late emerg'd from, shall so soon expire
The Revelations of Devout and Learn'd
Who rose before us, and as Prophet burn'd,
Are all but Stories, which, awoke from Sleep
They told their comrades and to sleep return'd
Nor whence, like Water willy-nilly flowing:
And out of it, as Wind along the Waste,
I know not whither, willy-nilly blowing
Heav'n but the Vision of fulfill'd Desire,
And Hell the Shadow of a soul on fire,
Cast on the Darkness into which Ourselves,
So late emerg'd from, shall so soon expire
Into this Universe, and why not knowing,
Nor whence, like Water willy-nilly flowing:
And out of it, as Wind along the Waste
When you and I behind the Veil are past,
Oh, but the long, long while the World shall last,
Which of our coming and Departure heeds
As the Sea's self should head a pebble-cast
Heav'n but the Vision of fulfill'd Desire,
And Hell the Shadow of a soul on fire,
Cast on the Darkness into which Ourselves,
So late emerg'd from, shall so soon expire
The Revelations of Devout and Learn'd
Who rose before us, and as Prophet burn'd,
Are all but Stories, which, awoke from Sleep
They told their comrades and to sleep return'd
