FERISHTAH'S FANCIES.
This and this only—was thy wit of worthTo recognise the drop's use, love the same,And loyally declare against mirageThough all the world asseverated dustWas good to drink? Say, 'what made moist my lip,That I acknowledged moisture:' thou art saved!
For why? The creature and creator standRightly related so. Consider well!Were knowledge all thy faculty, then GodMust be ignored: love gains him by first leap.Frankly accept the creatureship: ask goodTo love for press bold to the tether's endAllotted to this life's intelligence!'So we offend?' Will it offend thyself
