Religion
Introit
From Poetical Works (1916): Lyrical Poems: The Book of Images
Religion
The temples clean from star to star,
Built up in that aethereal space
Where forms of other being are,
Image no being of this place.
We symbol forms enshrined in them
Angels are emblemed in a clod,
And every stone is made a gem
Set in the altar of its God.
