27. God's eternal Choice[fn:gb877]

Earth-grief
    burnt his
    body’s frame.

Earth-jealousy
    burnt his
    life-fame.

Earth-ignorance
    burnt his
    God-Vision.

Yet his soul
    loves earth,
    treasures earth,
For earth is
    God’s eternal Choice,
    His ultimate Voice.

[fn:gb877] GB 877. It seems likely first edition text had mistype with ‘art’ for ‘earth’ on line 11,12,13. Original text was: | Yet his soul loves art, treasures art, | For art is God’s eternal Choice, His ultimate Voice.
