"THY WILL BE DONE"

ARCHIBALD LAWRENCE VAN ANTWERP.

BROTHERHOOD

Edwin Markham

The crest and crowning of all good,Life's final star is brotherhood:For it will bring again to earthHer long-lost poesy and mirth;Will send new light on every face,A kindly power upon the race,And till it come, we men are slaves,And travel downward to the dust of graves.

PERSPECTIVE

MARION COOK

With face close-pressed 'gainst this o'ershadowing wallOf dense materiality, which seemsImpenetrable, immeasurably tall,Opaque; defiant of our sorry plight,Which thus permits no glance to left or right.

LOVE IMMORTAL

Frederick Lawrence Knowles

Sects, ye have your day and die,Eddies in the stream of truth,—The great current, sweeping by,Leaves you swirled in shapes uncouth,Born to writhe, and glint, and woo—Broken mirrors of the Blue.
