Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors of Time.”

A Belgian Christmas Eve (1915)
Context: p>Thou whose deep ways are in the sea,
Whose footsteps are not known,
To-night a world that turned from Thee
Is waiting — at Thy Throne.The towering Babels that we raised
Where scoffing sophists brawl,
The little Antichrists we praised —
The night is on them all.</p

“I am hopelessly in love with a memory.
An echo from another time, another place.”
