      And the sure power-pattern of her cryptic signs,

      Her diagrams of geometric force,

      Her potencies of marvel-fraught design

      Courted employment by an earth-nursed might.

      A conscious Nature’s quick machinery

      Armed with a latent splendour of miracle

      The prophet-passion of a seeing Mind,

      And the lightning bareness of a free soul-force.

      All once impossible deemed could now become

      A natural limb of possibility,

      A new domain of normalcy supreme.

      An almighty occultist erects in Space

      This seeming outward world which tricks the sense;

      He weaves his hidden threads of consciousness,

      He builds bodies for his shapeless energy;

      Out of the unformed and vacant Vast he has made

      His sorcery of solid images,

      His magic of formative number and design,

      The fixed irrational links none can annul,

      This criss-cross tangle of invisible laws;

      His infallible rules, his covered processes,

      Achieve unerringly an inexplicable

      Creation where our error carves dead frames

      Of knowledge for a living ignorance.

      In her mystery’s moods divorced from the Maker’s laws

      She too as sovereignly creates her field,

      Her will shaping the undetermined vasts,

      Making a finite of infinity;

      She too can make an order of her caprice,

      As if her rash superb wagered to outvie

      The veiled Creator’s cosmic secrecies.

      The rapid footsteps of her fantasy,

      Amid whose falls wonders like flowers rise,

      Are surer than reason, defter than device

      And swifter than Imagination’s wings.

      All she new-fashions by the thought and word,

      Compels all substance by her wand of Mind.

      Mind is a mediator divinity:

      Its powers can undo all Nature’s work:

      Mind can suspend or change earth’s concrete law.

      Affranchised from earth-habit’s drowsy seal

      The leaden grip of Matter it can break;

      Indifferent to the angry stare of Death,

      It can immortalise a moment’s work:

      A simple fiat of its thinking force,

      The casual pressure of its slight assent

      Can liberate the Energy dumb and pent

      Within its chambers of mysterious trance:

      It makes the body’s sleep a puissant arm,

      Holds still the breath, the beatings of the heart,

      While the unseen is found, the impossible done,

      Communicates without means the unspoken thought;

      It moves events by its bare silent will,

      Acts at a distance without hands or feet.

      This giant Ignorance, this dwarfish Life

      It can illumine with a prophet sight,

      Invoke the bacchic rapture, the Fury’s goad,

      In our body arouse the demon or the god,

      Call in the Omniscient and Omnipotent,

      Awake a forgotten Almightiness within.

      In its own plane a shining emperor,

      Even in this rigid realm, Mind can be king:

      The logic of its demigod Idea

      In the leap of a transitional moment brings

      Surprises of creation never achieved

      Even by Matter’s strange unconscious skill.

      All’s miracle here and can by miracle change.

      This is that secret Nature’s edge of might.

      On the margin of great immaterial planes,

      In kingdoms of an untrammelled glory of force,

      Where Mind is master of the life and form

      And soul fulfils its thoughts by its own power,

      She meditates upon mighty words and looks

      On the unseen links that join the parted spheres.

      Thence to the initiate who observes her laws

      She brings the light of her mysterious realms:

      Here where he stands, his feet on a prostrate world,

      His mind no more cast into Matter’s mould,

      Over their bounds in spurts of splendid strength

      She carries their magician processes

      And the formulas of their stupendous speech,

      Till heaven and hell become purveyors to earth

      And the universe the slave of mortal will.

      A mediatrix with veiled and nameless gods

      Whose alien will touches our human life,

      Imitating the World-Magician’s ways

      She invents for her self-bound free-will its grooves
