Classic Poem

They said: " She dwelleth in some place apart,
Immortal Truth, within whose eyes
Who looks may find the secret of the skies
And healing for life's smart. "

I sought Her in loud caverns underground —
On heights where lightnings flashed and fell;
I scaled high Heaven; I stormed the gates of Hell,
But Her I never found.

Till thro' the tumults of my Quest I caught
A whisper: " Here, within thy heart,
I dwell; for I am thou: behold thou art
The Seeker — and the Sought. "
