“One presence fill and floods the whole serene;
Nothing can be, nothing has ever been,
Except the one truth that creates the scene.”

Context: A single thought transfuses every form;
The sunny day is changed into the storm,
For light is dark, hard soft, and cold is warm.One presence fill and floods the whole serene;
Nothing can be, nothing has ever been,
Except the one truth that creates the scene.</p
