: I can't find what peom these lines are in, if you could tell me....
: "I saw eternity the other night, like a great ring of pure and endless light...."
: and
: "There is in God some say, a deep but dazzling darkness..."
: I don't know if these are exact or not, but your help would be greatly appreciated.
the poem's name is "The World"
i read a book by madeleine l'engle, and in the book, "a ring of endless light", which is basically named after the poem, the grandfather reads the poem to the girl, and it goes like this: "I saw Eternity the other night,
Like a great ring of pure and endless light,
All calm, as it was bright,
And round beneath it, Time, in hours, days, years,
Driven by the spheres,
Like a vast shadow moved, in which the world
And all her train were hurled.
There is in God, some say,
A deep but dazzling darkness: as men here
Say it is late and dusky, because they
See not all clear.
O for that Night, where I in him
Might live invisible and dim!
you might want to go to the site http://www.ldysinger.com/MONS_423/01B_Vis2_Bib_Mar/01_apo-kata.htm, it kinda yzes the poem.
