Grand Is the SeenGrand is the seen, the light, to me—grand are the sky and stars,Grand is the earth, and grand are lasting time and space,And grand their laws, so multiform, puzzling, evolutionary;But grander far the unseen soul of me, comprehending, endowing all those,Lighting the light, the sky and stars, delving the earth, sailingthe sea,(What were all those, indeed, without thee, unseen soul? of whatamount without thee?)More evolutionary, vast, puzzling, O my soul!More multiform far—more lasting thou than they.
