       and Chorus of the Pities, the Shade of the Earth, the Spirits

       Sinister and Ironic with their Choruses, Rumours, Spirit-

       SHADE OF THE EARTH

       What of the Immanent Will and Its designs?

       SPIRIT OF THE YEARS

       It works unconsciously, as heretofore,

       Eternal artistries in Circumstance,

       Whose patterns, wrought by rapt aesthetic rote,

       Seem in themselves Its single listless aim,

       And not their consequence.

       CHORUS OF THE PITIES [aerial music]

       Still thus? Still thus?

       Ever unconscious!

       An automatic sense

       Unweeting why or whence?

       Be, then, the inevitable, as of old,

       Although that SO it be we dare not hold!

       SPIRIT OF THE YEARS
