Now it appears very clear
that the Holy Ghost,
childhood’s mysterious enigma,
is the dream;
the way of inspiration
is always open,
and open to everyone;
it acts as go-between, interpreter,
it explains symbols of the past
in to-day’s imagery,
it merges the distant future
with most distant antiquity,
states economically
in simple dream-equations
the most profound philosophy,
discloses the alchemist’s secret
and follows the Mage
into the desert.
— H. D.
