Artemas Jean Haynes 1908
HERE AND THERE GOD SENDS MEN
INTO THE WORLD WHO SEEM BORN
TO SET THEIR FELLOWS FREE WHO
INSPIRE IN THEM ARDOR OF SOUL FOR
THE GREAT SIMPLICITIES DEEPER LYING
THAN ALL DISTINCTIONS OF EPOCH OR
NATION OR CLASS. THEY GIVE US BACK
TO OURSELVES. THEY BURN UP THE DISTINCT
IONS MEN HAVE MADE AND BRING
TO THE LIGHT OF DAY THE COMMON
GIFTS BESTOWED BY THE CREATOR
ON ALL HUMANKIND. THEY SET US IN
ETERNAL RELATIONSHIPS. THEY LAY BARE
THE THINGS THAT ARE DEEP AND UNDYING.
AS WE COME UNDER THE SPELL OF
THEIR GENIUS WE FEEL OUR HEARTS
BURN WITHIN US AS THE HEARTS OF
THE DISCIPLES BURNED LISTENING TO
THEIR LORD ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS
