Krishna could not but speak his froward thought: "It looks such contradiction to the fact Staring us in the face from round about Us wheresoever in the world we turn Our eyes and see the seeming pitiless Ongoing of the blind necessity That, deaf and blind and irresistible, Rides like a Juggernaut upon his car Crushing beneath the wheels the hearts of men And spirting up their blood to splash his feet!" Unwonted passion heaved the Indian's breast, And shook the tones in which he said these things. Paul gently made reply as one that knew: "Yea, such the spectacle that sight beholds; Nor ever other had the mind of man Guessed, had the voice of God not spoken clear To Faith, revealing His veiled fatherhood: The blatant falsehood of the seeming fact Failed in the ear of Faith hearing that word. She said: 'It must be true; how otherwise Than because God Himself who cannot lie Declared it could such gospel come to men? Not from the world of sense; that world instead Gainsays it with all clamor of perjury; Not from the heart of man averse from God And full of alien fear through hate of Him: For filial fear it is, begot of love, Not alien fear, of conscious hate begot, That God desires from men and will reward With pity like a father's for their state. Yea, such a gospel must from God have come; Let God be true and the whole world a liar.' So Faith cried out in passionate protest Against appearance, and clasped fast her creed. "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent a mighty succor down to Faith Faint with her fasting in the wilderness. From His own bosom He His only Son, Only and well-belovéd, the express Image of His own person and the bright Effulgence of the Father's glory, tore And bade Him, joyful at the mission He: 'Empty Thyself of thine equality With Me in Godhead; take the lowly form Of a bondservant; fashioned like a man Humble Thyself to be obedient Through all degrees of all obedience Unfaltering down to that extreme degree Of death, yea even of death upon the cross!' For God so loved the world, with pity loved, That He His own Son and His only gave That whosoever should on Him believe Might perish not, but have eternal life.
