POEMS, 139

��I.

��'~PHIS world is not conclusion ; A sequel stands beyond, Invisible, as music,

But positive, as sound. It beckons and it baffles ;

Philosophies don't know, And through a riddle, at the last,

Sagacity must go. To guess it puzzles scholars ;

To gain it, men have shown Contempt of generations,

And crucifixion known.
