"NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME"

Margery Todahl Blokhine

There are events here of a certainty   Grander than men's frail thinking can assess:The bud that blossoms for all men to see   Must first unfold within one's consciousness;The robin's declaration of domain   Falls idly on the undiscerning ear—Mind, with its aural purity, must reign   Supreme in stillness, ere men learn to hear.
