Excerpt from Allegories
The Life Story of Aner
I
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting;
The soul that rises with us, our life's star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar.
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home. - Wordsworth.
Out of the deep, my child, out of the deep,
From that great deep before our world begins,
Whereon the Spirit of God moves as He will -
Out of the deep, my child, out of the deep,
Down you dark sea thou comest, darling boy.
Tennyson.
The King Elyon was the greatest of all kings. Other lords and sovereigns claimed the sway over wide domains; but in these realms they were in reality his vassals, even when they most daringly pretended to avow their independence, and strove in open rebellion to thwart his high designs.
