To show that Being must be dual, let Us for a moment brief only suppose One man alone, one sentient being, set In utter nothingness, with nought to fret Or to disturb the silence and repose-- He could not even know he lived at all! 'Tis moving contact that to each one shows He has existence. If stark darkness fall, One cannot feel his hand without some motion small. 27. Love sleeping all alone could never wake; Wisdom in lone repose could give no light; The two brought into contact, Love would quake With thrilling tremor that would warm and wake Wisdom to knowledge and a joyous sight Of his companion blushing to be seen; The mutual recognition would be quite A startling revelation in the sheen Of Light and Life gendered by touch the two between. 28. Then think with what attractive force the two Great Principles of Being would be drawn Together, with no other thing in view To militate against the union true Of every eager atom, which would yawn With the intensest hunger to be wed To its twin atom, waiting in the dawn Of resurrection from the rayless dead, To thus be on its everlasting journey sped! 29. An illustration feeble this of how The Principles of Love and Wisdom blend In mutual accord, and thus endow The Pair with the capacity to grow Into a fonder union without end, Evolving from their conscious being all The forms and forces which forever send The tide of Life through all that soar or crawl, Wherever the conditions infinite may call. 30. It matters not what we may choose to name The element which we now contemplate; It is the all-pervading vital flame And moulding force that from the union came Of Love and Wisdom, which forever mate; If we so will, we may suppose it Mind, And all things manifold and correlate So many thoughts projected and defined For use and contemplation of our human kind. 31. So far as we can see, the moving force Comes through and issues from a Human Pair Who lived long ages since, and in the course Of Evolution, have become the source Of our vast universe, and to it are As parents to their children, by a law Of higher, broader scope, that may compare With procreation here, but which may draw From deeper source than even Gods themselves e'er saw. 32. Man is the aim and end of what exists; As forces at his earthly birth prepare For him the needed food, and he subsists Within the womb as kindly Nature lists, So Love and Wisdom, present everywhere, Provide the suns and earths for his abode While, all unconscious, he is unaware Of his condition, or whence leads the road That he henceforth must tread, as others erst have trode. 33.
