A miracle of the Absolute was born;
Infinity put on a finite soul,
All ocean lived within a wandering drop,
A time-made body housed the Illimitable.

Parent or kin to our ideas and dreams

In an immaterial substance linked to ours
In a deep oneness of all things that are,
The universe of the Unknown arose.
