8. THE MASTER

(December 9, 1950)

```

With folly futile thy spirit’s core to buy

We have come, O Master sweet!

The Mother with Pole-Star-Eye commands our hearts

The ignorance-dream to quit.

The armoured breasts of the Gods we all behold

Around thy citadel-deeps.

Night and Death now weep in awe unknown

Before thy Apocalypse.

The born and unborn drink deep from Thee the Grace,

O Fountain of all!

The hurtful roar of ignorance stark is hushed

With all its venom-gall.

The sky, the sun and moon, the host of stars

Announce thy victory vast,

Thy trance of fire broods immortality

Upon the aspiring dust. ```
