Part III : The Mystic Ruby
The Flower of Old Japan and Other Poems (1907), The Flower of Old Japan
Context: p>Mystery: Time and Tide shall pass,
I am the Wisdom Looking-Glass.This is the Ruby none can touch:
Many have loved it overmuch;
Its fathomless fires flutter and sigh,
Being as images of the flame
That shall make earth and heaven the same
When the fire of the end reddens the sky,
And the world consumes like a burning pall,
Till where there is nothing, there is all.</p
