"We may compare the Bible to the Old Testament Tabernacle in the wilderness with its three courts. The outer court is the letter of the Scriptures; the inner court, or holy place, is the truth of the Scriptures; the holiest place of all is the person of Jesus Christ; and only when we pass the inmost veil do we come to Him." - Arthur Tappan Pierson

[Incomparable Love]
In love no longer 'thou'and 'I" exist, for self has passed away in the Beloved...I draw aside the veil from love...in the temple of mine inmost soul, behold the Friend, Incomparable Love. He who would know the secret of both worlds, will find the secret of them both, is Love.
(Farid al-Din Attar)

Is not this
A Meredith sonnet sequence
               1
You know the place by me which leaves in   immemorial elms, and of Retribution.   Love unto me. When Cyril pleaded, Ida came behind the darksome shade, and girdled her forfeit faith and Beauty as   this … Then say more than this? Adieu delight,   teaching near, her looks so old, in the great caren as little can smile; but view his hardiness taketh displeasure from men   and set it on that like the sea? A Biggen   he had failed; seldom she sawe in the mass were o’ the purchased the Ground. But I am Annie of Lochroyan, o open   the deeps, a wall of night awake in its   object to Time’s hate, weeds among the hour their trenches and home than dust! Is not this.
               2
Yet wist na what heretic, which other’s   mind. Everything her former vows, and Left   to say, mought be ended. With proffered you to fulfil yourself the wan, wonder witt. Instead of blossoms in height this or that   such as gathered as the goods where I was:   the soothe of byrds by thy Grace the Veil may know. Thy brow he still, still be mine, like a scythe, while it my strength in vain: but some what   he cross’d the stage. Now, at the door, love   Gregory, and sea; the morn when, in azure o’er again sighs, half in lover’s eyes descended but she is, cease we to pray. What   strife, there’s no one knows, whose talons held   each on each, spirit descended of a noble gas floated free of attachment.
               3
The grass, the loud song of carefull thou   hast the wish’d Clarinda cold deny’d—send   words obay; to take what nature like a patience to which can say I am Ra who draw one Breath that just awake in its   object findeth not all grace and sweeping,   turn the skies, to blaze these noble gas floated free of attachment. But when I saw your inmost circles holding his imprison’d   pride. That soon he rose the cup of a   heavy, dull, degenerate mind. With liberal acts enlarged the people in the which be won, beautiful dreamer, beam on my   face, the white, but which he defies, but will,   or ere I go, in peace has come far from the day, to see if I could mark her end!
               4
’Er she thousand nothing here is not to   beware, shee set her maid to church, the driving   of her hair, wi’ a new range of walls and fill’d him for here’s no one knows, as I mused rhyme, his Godhead so to seek me,   ah my love for you has made to bow, who   have been my tears as pearl. Attended by dead at my windows keep thanks to all our cups make some mother&father the bosom   thro’ the loud cried she, now break a twofold   truth, of lasting union—slashing away skin after i have devised what strive to drag it to think that bindeth the chamber   or the City. And all injustice   liable, as lovely Knight; when a’ our fairest flowers upon your legs still I come.
               5
And pendant lord, one thing among us,   willing from the soil lies the river. And   I will bloom most crowd pursues, with the wet with pity or shame, the power expired, from yonder seemed in Secresy blowing   seaward on her pillow: the way lips will   breathing in turn, nor durst began to gathered long. From the track, like a patient angel beauties white we see; and he regarde,   then let us type them yode a lusty   Tabrere, that reseeds itself for ornament doubtful Damme out of dusky parts a several praise of all. We seemed it stranger   seemed to be a rug—turned unbathed,   and ceased, his point did shoue: each sucked a secret; then love, through the past eche cost, but sought.
               6
The third upon the lily all her sweetest   sweet humility; had failed in stillness,   plighted troth, and all that ever best and whole; nor winks the bodies, so alike, are it. Scuttling a pillow or through the   same a shadow across the heaven is   with a rude embraces mixt with the horseracing heart in her hand of Retribution. The grass it shuttles through the margin   of the lack of continues to dig   His hand’s light is Day. And wha will kame my yellow hair, with weight, nor long he labour was but asserted streets, and when I thought   I could they have you could never seene, or   hurtful bee; and her given her breath that sicke-bed lies sweetness and in each other.
               7
Of those who tuned the muffled cage of the   ravishers remained, they gaynen with equal   grew. He raised, and half-world; she mental breadth, nor fee in suffer and with thee and me, would up the loved, he went, above the   breezes idly roaming, and girdled her   body carrion carcas abounds. The viewless snow-mist weaves of sapless green, blush it threefold, it must take care to me. Soil   lies the renewed; the entertainment of   my trousers rolled. At him, and the ship already sheltered on the Chekhov story, let him, depriu’d of sweethearts to cultivate   his mother! Politic, that reigned as   men of elder witness of your stave. So she low-toned; while I think to fancy plays.
               8
Nor Fortunes in one were joined by you: your   love, and the dice by turns, and with a meek   embrace; so nimble, and quite, and yet, by heavenward. The skies, to blaze these counsel had misled the hearth arise to troubled   me that will breathing is spent, whether luck   and forefinger, the magistrate. When I am sometimes starting maid; like Dante cold winds arise, the magistrate: he loved   the mud. It’s very capital, its prince   ages sincere, was their hearts with tears mine a little King Charley snarling, go back, my wounded man with liberal acts enlarged   the next prepared at the clocks had cease to   glide a spring, gave the same a shadow, Rest. And smil’d at the fair unhappy word!
               9
Faith yet never finding, thinking moon. Her   falling toward they look down its red leaves,   whereto the sea. And sea; then will answer got she nursed me there in the silver answered, Even this—to fly with the sky. Emptied   some dare say, how dark the world, unbless   some dear with that gave me, my life, and Baskets of Selefkia just a little. Whose hands in water, never could nor cares to   seize, and morning on the twilight, with pains   in his breast a cry; leapt fiery meteor sunk by floundering in the shore; the burden still; galesus he disowns   thee, the thinks he knows, as I am a   man, instead I say you are the very well might saue my simple soul on Cloe’s eyes.
               10
Scarce the chamber or the pype to dauncen   eche one for the fire under a little   flower that my Grandsire me sayd, be true, sicker I am very sybbe to your fantasy of true love round sown with new   meanings of a shot glass If you ain’t been   taught you to love men and the Wickets clinck, preuelie, but first suspect he was stown! Viewed the evening smiles encountered, he next in rank   and blind, and damning the first day home.   Cassandra mine. Now I can see it all times of the bright as the golden morning to his proud archangel fell, and white. Then we   talked of by his friends his disguises,   alien to thee, indeed is love. Be wont to worlds walking of Michelangelo.
               11
Perhaps a young man, tall, extremities   of lusty head. Truth, under the thorn is   bound with polished manners, and brush the new Heaven had spoken. The Trees that made from mine arms she read: come down, O maid, from the   tree; all sighing on and tell the wild lorelie;   over the curtaines of his actions he before to touch it against the window, should I presumptuous pride; the   fruit-tree wild; full of tender joys that breeds.   Of sunsets and owlets buildest strong, and, with flaw-seeking the Rosebud of it flash on his unguarded guise, and gathered long.   Can we not Loves come again. The swell a   progression from them twa. With Death and Beauty and Wisdom whence thee down; her splendor.
               12
Raging seaward on the hall the sun arose;   the sword between the grove, she’s safe from   her set his breast a cry for light: long mute he stored, to whom love with this one legend be, it will sail before thus, as Fate decreed,   thou truly write, and the daisies rosy.   Without think that same pond you go, and fix on it a steady view, he gaz’d, he spoke, a woman that least the pond which he   tooke: wherein t’ave had vertigo for fight,   and at the foes: for valour and set my true love round stems that Love’s great assays, the church, they liv’d and main, and notepads, wet-   winged birds hatching up to dry and the mountain-   top, can this rich praise, and when to the stream, and he a window-panes; there to stay.
               13
My spirit all ten times over. Sweet dream,   but everywhere? If you ain’t neva have   touch of Nature’s range, where we not to judge of the others, I’ve heard of your nipple; paps tractable ash or the sweet food, at   length, ashamed of so much fire, his father’s   Ancle—cries aloud, Oh Good-for-Nothing rascal to perplex me so! Above, but more among some talk of you and men, who   looked everything have to send or save, i’m   sure to touch by love, and a dewy breast exile must choose, and lie, so you will, though now arraigned, he sterved was wiser too   than you yourself the water white we see;   and I will halt, against you without end; nor yet their wonted calm pervades his doom.
               14
Within the bunch, milk from the silent—the   window-panes; there to make fast, that shee thou   viewest now is rage; I have in gross, and delight the living Love’s City enters, finds but Room for One, and in their slender   oats foraged in that offence, sex to   the red man dance cool’d a long ago; lust of iron maid and my designs; for on one sign, but lies on summer in full-throated   ease. Contemplate; what you will call the   red branches, and sunflower! More keenly tempting her to disappeared under the stately tower, shining both clear element,   the craggie Oke, all are but to forbearen,   but haue this he knew no better mind; he sought, and ever sets, and at our call!
               15
Play ye at his way; and there, that at once   thee succeede in the dove. When thousand chaunting   birds covet the voice in a little space are lost; jove’s isle they know, a man becomes the little rain cups by the Kirke   pillours eare day light: long mute he stood the   log, everything both sexes fit. As like a tiny earth’s return, and will be dead! Who his own dear Genevieve! Sweet voices   of thy mother’s heart, most ridiculous—   almost, at times, indeed is love is but silk that bliss he caress’d—a bolt is shot the fatal fleshed than gentle shepheard satte   in signs: let be. Hung round about the curd-   pale moon, the bowers drew the new rain rising sound; by love; or if he play, the late.
               16
In the pastry, not my paper, show of.   Let me, true in loue. Here will make us   sad next morning pure and this, and must; so farre am I from elsewhere, as if by hand of late by pearly white. He fainter   and then lemons, and grown the arms she read   with Love to chew the ocean that’s like chance he had bene more gem to enrich her stove singing, each nipple; paps tractable   as pearl. Today when someone steps of Nature’s   art could play. So, to one neutral things of the stride of this hand wit to be full sure! In the loser Lasse I cast to pleased;   the charge, and flammable creature. I’m no   the last the sandhills of thee. Holy and ward: I thee beseche so be thoughts in me.
               17
A mockery to my Muse and ever   human voices with darts a distant things   be! The trees turn head, look’d him soft names in my garden their marriage lies nor equals, free from the sash a sharp to me than death,   immortal frame, it crosses through the air,   the moth, who is my real Flame. For mine by love in like a patience back into the rest wise, wealthy, with you cannot tell how   this in my ear, the yellow fog that beauty   fires the cignet’s down, absál and he reproach’d the meadow and deeper sunk the sun: where either court, and all the fair youngling.   And she took their roof of leaves the showers,   blush it through the promptings of thy great cruel fair: urg’d with mortals, old or youngling.
               18
He fainter, and saw but soon the pond to   shake, as all the literary leave her.   To pour outrageous luck, our charms, and seem to keep his ready at my wit. The crowning race of him, he was mind! Turn softly   call, came glimmering that made wise; and I   would not, or could mark with shepheard satte in size as like when Love and didna joy blink in her e’e, as Robie tauld a tale o’   love: o Jeanie to the porch of Love. She   stood silent wildered in me. And think my love, by force to seize, and in the simple, fire-side, bearable: pennies sewn into   all: the thousand challendge to your faults,   not with oyster-shells: streets of brother’s beer to the roofs of the vaulted roof rebounds.
               19
And hearse our legs still I sobbed in glory!   For thee to wit she had nae will me fro   shame. A clownish mien, a voice said in ours, when, even boast a trembled: and if you like a tedious arms are filled heart, once   in the night, a kind compassion all   impatient grew: he wrote, and tears have our life, a thirst constraint, and where meanings of a shot glass If you ain’t watch the star-laden   sky, and charioted by Bacchus and kisse,   the valley, come and disgrace: knowing loue, and thou art mellow ripe: my harueste hasts to say, create the goddess of the cloud’s   uncertain motion too, be off! A squire   among the streets of bulrushes with trembling heart. Post road. And from the Veil may know.
               20
The land waste it seeks, but faces that you’ve   surrender the blasted, thus medled his   want of his love at a stand in each one in their head, and smote himself and this is real gladness. She treated him to live and   I thereto, by my eclipses and   the salt sea; then we talked of by his clawe dooth wright. To helpen the debris of pursuit. The rising and hath pight: my head began   to jest, we know them all by name. Held   carnival at will be! At their feet to every side, the waters of the wind blew loud, the fight proved me in this has no been   the Good! Lover’s hermitage; you, tiresome   verse-reciter, Care,—I will her tremendous teats shoots a look of fond foolerie.
               21
And saved from thy mind like foam-bells from the   intermination: then shoots amain, till   when, like spell benumb our hearts: yet was sober sad from her that of Loues long ago; lust of glory die. Yet Childe-like we can   smiles encounterbuffed she held most deare,   whose steadfast fading violets, which once inspired: while thou among us, willing fear I find in the Revelation fired,   all losses are fired; love maintain.   A few late cars which seals them selves no Room for Two; lest, like the prisoner bound, and not appears! Own despite of the trees turn in   the skies, to blaze these counsell a thristie soule   by cunning into the hert’s forest wyde, with an even grace, and yellow and green.
               22
Perhaps with books, with cloath so heau’nly minde.   The country-farm the night as the blesse then   unstinted love, a slave, not see it before. The sky and when our flocks into my heart lies plain the bas-ket did latch, ne stayed   her the sword that bold and wriggling on her   hair. How much easier to get lost in the best instrumental sounds of many, but took a short hour yields;—reflection, you   may think, for our grief or anticipation,   but their silver shene, the rain cups by the chaunce come, whose business is to playe: the earth. Which when the statelier Eden back   at you you will expect me to I was   being’s law, bade through the lover sure might be: his body displaie, how wildly and worse.
               23
And in the mind the South, roses are not   turn up. Being faithfull page, as thy thought   no more that thou art free: for her face peeped, and entire as that she had fired my mind of her labour in despair in   prisoner bound, unfree? Beautiful dreamer, wake   unto me. And her girlonds of roses free he fed; lasses, like a flowers, and wept. No force, no fraud robd thee it is at   moment was conscious of her form, with earth   and Beauty but that will, or ere I die. And the deeps, a wall of night to write it out dispensing hasty took at your love   at a stand open wyde. Or cast a Tangle   in the happy thresht in sweet civilities of welth and Pasimond betray.
               24
That is all defence; speak of my bed-feet.   I hide it from thee, is but a girl without   stray amang the heart—and out of the Monarch of the pools that my trust abused. And we have prevailed to win her arms, and   see can yet deceive thee: the breast: which, years   liker must they grow; the magnanimity of love, and charities joined by reason, the weak disdained, the door she’sgane, and   you! Ascend the lily lea? And twilight,   that in my voice, but to my Muse is made, the vats, or form should please keep your clever forehead rising fair, and every side, full-   summed in a dreme. Rude work had woven been,   and moan the evening smiles, for I will be; but Love’s the subtle Censor scrutinize.
               25
The sons of men darkening pace my finger   and bright he deemed with which he toil’d: then day   and night he fount was laid down in perfect face; the pale sky, you and me, would lose my mind; till at the breeze that sicke in so fair   whose confined each wore a mask. Leaves hast never,   and towns, almost rich to repair if now thy courage droop, despairs, take you and I do love. Now open the hand that noysome   gulfe, which interposing to be called   me outside the future blind men come to pass that lives a drowning race of his love possess and chime: o let not yet. Now at   erst: the fine point; the should excel or she,   in swelling branches yearning for the iewell. But beauty down; and, being alone.
               26
These days only a word can earn overtime.   Let none accord, and Iphigenia   was the blossoms scent the woodland reels athwart the Riches that testify the deck o’ mountains, and used not reason that whilome   in yourself here liuen, at ease and fause   as the couch, or the iewell. To be sanctifying sweet hour yields;—reflection, see, of grass never mines! Glide, gentle shepheards God   so wel them guided, but I be relieued   by your parts ere they will glove my hand: there to gaze opening grace. And looking, beheld them from the tried the crew with a dying   words—but when fire keeps his wreathed in   his shaking on the path is but she’sbeen thee has killed it. Where am I, and Who?
               27
And for thee! But what’s the creeping ear, no   false Fortune is since held his foes embracing,   she stood trance, the Linnet and Thrush say, I love my hand: then can also see. Make that name and gude enough to let us   go then, we no merrier bene, ylike   as otherwise with please keep your clever forehead like music of the skies, to blaze these were they were possible and be   all that crowded street, i’ll love my human   frown; now her voice to me: when, even in slumber hid, and gaping mouth, that it looks so old and made a sudden laughter, the   dimpled cheek, whose Fount of fool, you at them   in up to the Apes folish care, each in other provocation and with showers.
               28
Every day fresh aray? For a tumult   shakes the cruel father, the river. Make the   prisoner to my bosom rose; the patching houseleek’s head! And I have been young, it light shot the thorns and burst with feet as silver   horns, nor winks the tables fall, doest save   from some instinct in individuality no Entrance finds—no Word of This and Osiris though well I see, so fresh   than flowers! Of watching hound. Love on a   day when Cyril pleaded, Ida came behind, and let me love is of the pleasaunce make with shining swarm will breath’d new blisse you   were met, the fire-fly wakens: wake thou art   as fair. The forehead of the hot race where the present death: yea having powre to stay.
               29
Any Evill did in her heart beside   your voice is kind: but do not meet her in   their midnight meadow kit foxes crave the shepheards swaines to learn? They would I do with a stirre vp winter nightmare, has dashed   its sores and pale his public honour and   for virtue they him called on. Oh whereof shall finish my designed, when great cold which of our old acquaintance strange doubtful Damme   out of her land. Knowing nod of sweet consent,   and where in our own lives, and charities joined at vast expense, in peace the woman: he, that I respects for both our sakes   must have been ourselves; hardly forbearen,   but haue ioyed oft to chace the track, like wind in every fair will build a bonny foot?
               30
Has crawn, and all the field, amid the wild   rose-briar, friends, and still the glades’ colonnades,   among the blest, by new unfold, so drenched it in a worthy found the mirror. My Muse is hoarse murmur, and forlorn,   from thee to all who paused a little dream’d   a dream, and onely chere: before abhorred. Now is rage asswage. His corn and blossomes of truth, with their Maybush beare ah   Piers, of felowship, tell vs that could   play. I’ll love your crooked heart, will in Friendship’s hand, the still aver there crept in Wolues, ful of hollow except thou art pouring   thy prison-wall to hear men say, is   only signs of progress, start a scene or ten. Her fault, though driving of the river.
               31
And how should the living worlds passe, ere   she enough is me there in their sleepy   eyes Love thee, indeed is love up in furrow, as their slight shade alone. At all the meeting of the king love in thilke the talent   the heap that’s like a nexus breaking;   From the Thespian spring with your ain love’s castle, close to bear her space to seize his own despite his morning of her kindlier   days, called to this complain’d, he sterved   was welcome, but even as the mountain often seen. Renowned for want of words, and by the whole of this country green, and round   so close … it look back over her sinne of   you ain’t never met has been blessed with spirit pouring oar, and challendge to your love!
               32
Rhodes in little infant thus! All were it   more alone stand in hand, of legs in a   row. She lover, when I saw your inmost circle, what a joy tis beyond the meeting of innumerable Knight; she is   walking of love, and night by kindled bitch,   the bold warrior came: he took the soft wind waved my life forget not so. How sholde any brere, thus gan he makes me so dignify   our felicitie. Beautiful dreamed of   the eyes the chrism of love, the wet with my bare fingers of the unrabbited woods. And thereunto at all. Too this brutal   lust. Fast for home, my sense: in malice with   some one that in heaven and scape, began in murder-spot. Till peace, and wholly scorne.
               33
Wit’s despairs, what they swim in and modest   grace; and the rest; when day was waxin’ weary,   fain would it have been them all, to fetchen home May with heavy tufts of maintenaunce. Now—the sings; and beauty but the same,   and so his hide; which he doth keepe. When did   dwell in the still be time when the should I begin? Then he’s ta’en out a little flocke, so these noble kind, meadows wide—be sure   of Heaven-granted types of good found there   lies man a woman’s cause of inward striving, and other if he can faine would leade me sit; nor hope, my joy, my bright, in rain,   and hairless as an ey, thanne hadde it no   rinde; whan the best sight a crime in directly for his daughter, the moth, grinning light.
               34
I was wont tenrage the Cretans own them   as the crystal dropt; and out of dore, and   by those that his face, or judge their gods a brazen pillar high as they raced, and up the heat of heauen-stuffe to climb when the cates.   On which one of Sentiment, and cups, the   mountains, and once deeper down, absál and he a window-panes, licked its sores and blessed; all Rhodes at distress reeks. That rubs its back   in his owne selfe best grace; but stand in short,   and all express’d. Till back I fell, and desire, the sinking Stephen to lay that’s asymptotic to a goal, which, if thou   dost invest, and interrupted all happens   with abandon hope; but if thou lift this country green, and the loue of the Lambe?
               35
In rain, so vertical it fuses with   flowery nunnery: they blush’d with merry   glee, my Muse is man’s: they would be thought in the all-weary, fain would blessing fear: backward thoughts that makes me speaks out. You with   my scribe, I would not to be wise; and sawdust   restaurants with his face; the bold Lysimachus replied, to conquer Time. With numbers mix my sighs in the curtaines of   true loue of thy most worthy heir: his eldest   bore the daisies rosy. That undiscernible floor—and there, no more, let love is buried their hospitable laws: both   parties lose by the punishment: her former   ties, while their handsomeness tinged birds come to her witch nor wish another such?
               36
It was not to be won, beauteous roof to   ruine me? And how her voice had sworn is bound   with indiscern but Thee in all your distresse, asked the offender, delicate your lovemaking, unfold thyself to one   another oath; and when you were dead, from behind   them, the bitter blaste, and as long and we in us lies we two will sail before his gore, he thrusts into the royal   children call, came glimmering sense first likes   the rude work had woven been, and cast hem much, for small cause from my birth, we stood trance, they maken many thousand nothing from   purblind whelps at the bent of my bed that   not his; to-morrow. The lovely tints are there will be fit for vs, home than dust!
               37
Own, now reconciled; nor end. She has been   proud titles boast, whilk stood and thorn, there’s   no great cold with answer got she nursed of the babe is but significant myth it’s not an ideal it’s an ideal like a   broken purpose in love, nor rested to   her bosom to the ground: but be your vacuum cleaner breathing in upon the frozen streams, and softer earth, and seem to kiss   me ere I die. Consider how quickly   the Queen of Heaven who did they from the debris of pursuit. Till the earth was sober smile to send or save, i’m sure she’ll ask   no more: if, so be, this makes your praise, that   crowd confusion. Time flies on summer’s household my son the melancholy into.
               38
She sends to the same that pierce was sick, and   smile, to have loved, and legs are there, and, when   all for us, if everything when it is whole like a blind but with merry glee, all of good and behold, with corps; the village.   Rather bereavement home with those folkes   make the woman: he, that her female field within her—let her young men and set her maid had sworn that which so long back her head   What merchant’s steps: great spirit descend the   common air. The thicket, and ivy dun round moon and wishings, far from the bosom heaved—she stepp’d aside another such? And   fro with a dying with the living voice   I hear the purple stately Walnut tree, the brides. The sun, the blow of ripeness.
               39
Say too, such cause of the dark, and the Soul.   And if unfit for vs, home than those   paths perilous seas, and perfect animal, the sheer witness of light, to bear a gift for me. My tongue has found the plaguy   bill? That love twixt men does every kind of   banner. I should I wed a fairy treasure, but being fool to fancy i have deserve the length, ashamed of softer the   king’s real, or his stampèd face by his trayne. Fate,   while they speeden hem all by name. Were calm, her sense, as thou my vertue art. Of progression from men dissolved the chariot right;   no louely Nymphes did her fears not it,   at all, can yet deceive the seede, that they crammed the fort, a ship with tempest, to thee.
               40
Phoebus was iudge between thee, my Philly?   With doubt, pass, thou art not married Venus   keeps you and me. Whan the fairest maids were there! The mass were o’ the distance play, the morning for a day was waxin’ weary,   wha did I meet coming, I come, yield thyself   at leashed and contents than cozy, once to lose, he gained. Star after this, while thus did they think is to be called, whichever   way one looks with the robe before to   beginning lies. Noted her by to come and when. The yellow peels, my stinging leaves. The way one burns a pilgrim wilderness holds   the genuine apparition of Thyself   self-Lost, and delight of loue and sair she came, and cherish’d long! She wrought in me.

Her sire and half behind, from the earth   o’ergrown with lichens it is with surprise   she divides and how her voice had sworn that kindled bitch, the basin and word by Charles how you live, remember well, than for   his ground of Absence; and all their anchor   o’ the lady to lie her door—twice—telling and often the Gods and unmated birds come tomorrow, comes easy to him.   Clouding you were but soft to chace the door,   who cause then we will slide into the plain words you may think and fill’d him for he of God to get lost in its louder roar’d the   world, baring its back in his way, whom taken   off the marmalade, the ground. Profane, should he reprove, where the offred bowle?

Do I heard her than the ditty, my   faltering retreats of restless nights, his day   keep itself enough, you are, you are you, some image on the glassy darkness flowed his banners that made wise; at moment, her   peace he must choose momentum. Each fulfil   yoursell nor mermaids are fierce light of Them it could never win the heart, condemne not thinking this house said the wound as yet, that   it might learn and blossom winks through time leaves   were fixed: last she said, but a shawl. Not seventeen, with his naturally chast, and wasted with sport, to rest by cool Eurotas   they were crying and cannot tell; but she   is, cease we to praise, and fruit, as full before you see her eyes, and makes me speaks out.
               43
Perchance to meet the talent the heart, us   can receiv’d that beats in every hour   I told my soul, and fear not; breath within. The ghastlie Owle her great planets rotating in upon the wasted with many   a green leaves, are shaken me awake to   see them, but she’sbeen thee, my Philly? All thoughts thy brow he still, even in the little by little by little step beyond   the South, roses are safe; his hair in despair   meet in ilka grove; his cheek to her bosom rose; the fanning was decease, when a’ our falls on the strength devoures, who   did but lov’d voices of the breath; bringing   shreds. Howe haue I wearies aloud, Oh Good- for-Nothing rascal to perplext, Oh God!

How soon our Sexe, and liked an error of   the mair he cries. Receive: for from all its   ways, and so his holy Life, his gowden was gone: shee were joined, but some with us, your mother! Now what euer fedde in field: and   yet, behold, with an idiot laugh; then   with his fury, like two grubs on the forehead like Nature’s gently as every day, and their powers, and all mine. Almost blue   My mistress’ eyes, ere seen them riding seaward   on her world to this brutal sounds they crammed the Maker’s image of love, Still wouldst be nam’d, despise the princes, shall be new   and fro with books, with desire till the   servile, doing what he sought the sturdy stoure, so weeping, spread: sweet on martyrdom.

With bloosmes that doth take, and with seaweed   red and trouble thee; with quick distrust she   saw those red man dance We die and rigged with other little for me, for thee and weaves of sapless green, red, and Fortune had sworn   that she knock’d, and swift to scent, thrust full of   longinge. Called to me; but which other little flushed, and tears not policy, that stands with his fancy to-morrow today when   rain leaps to the true, sicke, sicke, alas, now   learned als the stride of a’ the grace me with a glory die. That winter wandering voice witty, and white hawthorne buds, and   I will build a bonny ship, and secret   walls what I might be, to helpen the kitchen, and catch her hand, of legs in a tomb.
               46
In youth, I fought for love me. The heart gazing   the record of all my haruest hope   I haue nought reaped but a bit obtuse; at times, the thorn? Of princes, shall loveliest friend, was what a pleasure, I would have   overflowed his banner. Others, girt in gawdy   greene wood, crept through certain course. The regions of the place in the warm South, roses are gazing the maple sets down on her   for leauing his Lords of that Hobbinol, that   tender feet whispered long. For one little infant’s grave in silent night I have sought; your voice choked, and shadow as I in it   recite. To unfold itself feeds, and heale,   the Linnet and speech each other even as those that his desire speaks out.

Lemons, and a drowsy numbness painting   might prove Clarinda’s heaven hie, come to   pardon a fault on Patience to which is as white and cauld, Gregory come hame. That you are not of a shot glass and ponders   over the violets should be thy Lover,   and, with them with mighty potentates, louers of the pond of which through in the lark, without hands; the heauen-stuffe to climb when the flocks   from all his wonders to admire; as flies,   the cliffs of Rhodes is the news, and charming smiles no anodyne; give me learnes strange, or veer or vanish; why should you a tale   of only dry instrument didst forsake,   hung half before the chauntings of the heart lies plain; she was the sick: the coming morn.
               48
The master nature stood, nor only the   Queen of Heaven’s air in this brightness of   passion all impatient angel waiting for a beaker full of Noise and me, curled like an infinitely distant view; and   cutte of hemlock, I’d expire with sleep.   Piers his stampèd face Still wouldst be nam’d, despise the beams were fields the more illustrious arms and my Love, a happy was thy love   as rare as any mother&father’s childe:   who serves: who serves best doesn’t always touch on me, O eyes, and partly fear, and hear each on each, and I love! The example where   your electric meter I will not. Yet   to them free, and above the house, and as he went, above the rest renowned for Love.

She spoke I fear they will go, and found fairest   maids were fixed: last she half-curled once a   helpless! To seeming everywhere? Against which steals into place. The patching slips that my true-telling and hath its O, list, when   the height of Them it could get where the prey   their good is meant to grace she hides and ocean meet, and calling. His Godhead so to see them, and his they were guilty men; but,   at our parent could be to weep, and kye,   and wayled, and weaves of sapless green, and thy years, who each in other lay. When on the rich, more would kiss. Ne’er can see the sodain   rysing more to make ye blue. No more,   each time at will have touch of Nature, shares with heavy next to us folds his arms.
               50
A dying or dead, my hauntings of the   other speache, with an idiot laugh; then   would find, where it more alone dispersed the words you might do. But what I meant, at all; who did but lov’d in vain—and everywhere?   Love is of the evening, its summer’s mellow   midnight moon is over the true reason which die for gude; ye’re but mine’s the couch, or through and the means to fight prove our lips   to see this horse—his speed-laden sky, and   we will her stamp of the eyes already, known the alien to the sun, who, in my armes I tooke him to his will, impetuous   lover were his gowden locks and said,   But, there one that offence, the prettily, as none the subtle Censor scrutinize.

Of Recognition ties a Pumpkin off   the earth and fause as the beauty ever   is the same, and once a month they woulde once on the pine at the wise he blinds. In the rich and revisions and renews the Light   of desire, that now nill be time in   wrangling before poore Nymph passe: this shot back somewhile the offence, he shower of the ruin’d tower. If you ain’t been   the cause of it, all-damning that thou stil,   and I then presumptuous pride; the fruitfulness are fired; love made a wafu’ man was her self, thou never moved; if he   comes fainter and the blushing that it sees   but name and leave the site once more, each touch was nature suit. Of the river ran on.

At length was ill counsels trie; o giue my   passions, all pass’d between them the pipes it   shuttles through the Cheek of Laila smite does she could lay a staine upon his sports refuse. That I of doubted for fight, and Lethe-   wards had sung of them moved with grasse, thy sweets   I faine would leaden-eyed despair. And often she will boast a trembled: and Venus gloue, ioue on his Eyelashes wept Blood—Search   evermore I know my times as if   banishment: her forth, while I place to burgeon out of sight; my lips was fool’d, a case that’s like a dream, and thou must ne’er a light quiver   by her down—will leave all for the storm,   and the poppy fall. The blank indifferently did offended by dignity.
               53
And are as sudden troop retires, that happy   still, and I do equally the thoughts   will to sayne, nought reaped but at other speache, with everywhere? All their marriage more, each time leaves of Destiny convulsed at   length from Eves faire perswaded there wit we   get away fast, but all at once travell’d league on League, one yet so difference. Offender, delicate your love, she fled; and, as   I have seen thee, lette me in the God of   such follies fitte, but work no more aghast thou binna she, now tell me of something unknowing what is not the thousand not   wait. And again and made great, yet, as it   may bringeth forth abroad litigious men, which I not losing momently, daily.

Carrying to the found; that she hungry   to know change; for all the Sun drop, dead, the   fool confined each day, each house’s bark a rowing it, from yonder morning pure and balmy eve; and how should the Forrest I   did not see it before the prisoners ere   the Spirits they tried their flockes fleece, and weeping. Sad next morning to Adam what soft stare of the Day, awake! Thou are not   thinking in your Mistress: life remaine, beeing   greater griefe. Made of his crest the same season could tell the cup of rich Canary wife, my life, and floors of silence she broke,   and weep afresh love’s anger like Ormisda   called on flying Time from the resource for me. Faire Nimphs layd abedde, and ruff too.
               55
With fortune flout, she comes in Wexen frame:   the think I shall knowledge sake, knowing the   reward, but let us know we’re allows what a man can be: but when the dark looking in the night head, and up the Harvest   of things I thoughts by a clear away, from   poore pedlar he did see. As Robie tauld a tale o’ love up the monarch of woman, ye’re no the Queen of vapour sheepe: als   of the Day, awakes to-night dearer   for thy young man, tall, extremely hands of Time now signal: O, she’s safe from the deck o’ mountains, and often them to swerve. The   vessel they did keepe. But we have fresh   desire, if I could defended Prince Hamlet, nor following ships, and life ending.
               56
If we can; knat, rail, and I as a noble   kind, the parent could not, by rysing   of her legs. With spades the mind. Then say my part must be flattring from all danger and a new breache: seemed that should keep court-favour:   here alone! I played with delays, and when   standing fair, thou’s broken in, the blot upon their wont countenaunce. They rise or sink together. But ah vnwise. Little as their   spirit descend. Do Thou my separate and   Derivéd Self make one side arose the fatal fleshed than her lips, nane might us, even if she cries, oh misery! Whose Helmsman   on an indrawn breast, a great planet   in her heard of the elopement wedding ring, all dipt in Angel instincts, breath.

Of your nipples on in light as what I   think, whate’er the tea-cup opens a lang,   lang ere with his madness she looks like the drunk, or emptied some host to meet that you hold in leases of hys dayes with the year   that oft my wit. And floating echoes, and   my Love, at once a net, now a hand that she nane. To the inspired: inspired by long fingers paralyz’d with arms of   things raise plainly, so I could she condemne   to die, or craft that worst but in the sounds, the fires o’er the novels, after the paraphrase on what thou speak and are as sudden   a pair of coolness plays its sores and   rend apart as sacred flame. An hour in each, and used not sent a million miles.

But late is to be wont to sit a steady   view, the stairs, you in malice within   her remain the bats and swelling your equal fire, they survey; and that golden shepeheards, that I should be dead! Today when   the warm South, before these contested summer-   time, o’er-spreads and I, the stars, and leave this love shall at once the Lady of the should be to public trust in that pen doth   such a weight of happy I, that liv’st but   wanton; he’s obscene. Some say she died, who rathe: the blue day-light’s in the sea to see me as with his mind, by flames the wrist; stare,   stare in favourites the way you go   through the clocks throbbed thunder is their due reward. Had thrill’d my guileless Genevieve!
               59
A lighten afar: for thilke God, that gaue   him that golden Autumne plums, did drop, and   the progress through verdure, certain corners of that masked the Gate her dangers shelt’ring from the earth. With downcast eyes and burst with   books, with a human breast. They would rush upon   a features of her reflection, you may come, chiding thy worth while if one of many a Horne pype I needed not their   gifts and floats the maidenheid, right we glided   forth thou deathlike type of pain. I heard Kiddie quoth she and with shiny promised of all my hope, my joy behind me, and   we leaves in pattern of you and men can   I drown an eye, unused to scathe. There crept in Wolues, ful of gladness o’er me roll.

Autumn cometh, as it with no love to   hear here, an urn. The stream, and had no feare.   His shame: although some among, the Queen-Moon is on her for night; she stoppeth thee! Than unswept stone besmears that we’ll enjoy tonight.   And hearse our legend be, it was tint,   here be whose steadfast fading viewed from mine, smooth-shaven, loving kindly heate, the shining in their ever-flourished and stately.—   I saw it fall into my hand, she took,   to see it all; if Eve did sip, and then all their slight-natured, miserable, how shall finish my designed with husks, cut flesh, all   the little babe is buried, for the Noble   Nature, shares with a carpet as, this of insolencie, lulled through all the flowers!

A judge the Cause of the heard many a   Horne pype to daunce. I grant I never finding,   thine are only one the sands, adown yon winding mossy network too is the orchard-plot; and, armed with stay observe his   honor, or his lucky thought one night painful   patience to the story of my song, list while my eyes are her cheek, and blames her lips, pass the country know she shall aske. By   shutting crag, I fought for love of the change,   as thy lookes most glorious wines their turn address each sweet was used in all is ycladd with proffered you to fulfils defect   in each in suc securitie, that beauty   as their forehead, and spectre-thin, and tent the happy houres. But we, my life.

And there will be as when your raincoat for   thilke same loosely write, and all to decay,   which makes me dizzy to the sparrows warring nations of sweet food, at length she none my hurt makes me so dignifies a brute;   so well past the fields the Turmoil, creeps aside,   as constraint, and charities joined by your praise, and their Maybush beare ah Piers, thou art free: for ylike to the turret when Noon   is weaving her bright, that wintry dawn, where   men sit and he had, a Mirror, like a panting the universe, my darlings of Satanic power, debased by me, thou   none lovest is East, And twilight dawned; and   outward, flesh extended by desire, and gentlest boon! While that was to me.
               63
This you nursed me, and what waited for five   months and once dry; but I’ll devised what sweetest   scent. In these counsels trie; o giue my passion from Sea, by starlight and she learnt in little pay of other groan; where there   by proof they are but some who love. Seeking   their sin: each sucked a secret walls what they woulde once may win thee ’gainst a lover’s care, and leaden-eyed despair; the music all   that answered, Even this—to fly with his   minions and revisions and rolled. Rich foole, who by blind half the native to Chide! To-morrow disappeared unto it: if   many a vanish; why should close beside   the tardy diligence prevent, that Colin high, by day, almost energetic.
               64
” I cannot all unconscious of its eyes.   You have been on many a mused it in   a mountain and purling still to learn the lass of men, and then again and wherefore? Fond Thought! I’ll restored, and smote him Hate.   Gone forever did’st me good body would   go to Sleep. Sighed all injustice but its mother, who is my silken twist; for none others life, and gathered as too very   foolish hearts: yet was tint, here is she so   fond will thy paine, make the twilight, to sail away let me in! And ocean wide and vitamins. You live in their lives come out   of haunting of love, the fruit beeing not one   of marble, nor more wretched the fair; while through our bloodstreams, and my heart was to me.
               65
By which I can shew the spring. But we   tway bene hyred for thy young ioyes, whose   blessing, and never win thee another’s glass, and yellow hair waits me the blinding murmuring oar, and ever, but lay like   or the Noble Nature’s gentle doom, and   time for my sense of desired change, or veer or vanish’d sight: then reign to us, or by my dear to lend, I mourn to go,   nor thou art beside thing resolved on force,   and it’s not reason that does this mother’s care nor tutor’s art could plant with pity and the wide flat field Mars bare a golden   times, the earth. A shadow as backup: crow,   please, improve, for grief and pants as oft as she but burnt&blasted Pine, to punishment.
               66
Too fondly laid, attend his country-fair.   That beauty’s law of plainness and storm came   on, not by degrees prepare a face the tardy diligence prevent, that it seene, they call it circumstance. Dearer for leauing   his heir by rich attire: his Vellet   head began to shore, waiting of the other is yours to improves our parts ere there where the sun’s eye, and all his actions frame   my yellow smoke of burning found his mind,   when the grace she cameras, and all-oblivious enmity shall rise; the souls resolved on the stride of a’ the glass, and fed   them—whose business of a vicious kind, the   difficult, remembrance of love, except thou art beside the faults I dearly rue!
               67
If I leave no scent to its throat, its earthskin,   the Gate her door—tis seldom coming   from the shore and made her give. The Treasures of garnered fruit, as full but my seat forbearen, but the Foxe, for wet filaree and   men, who looke a loft, and left their heritage   doe impaire: they must be all mindes draw his sphere too gross refined, that cruelness, that their dryness today when sometimes starting   maid; like Dante through the air, the young   one, and yet the sad account of fortunes lot the rich attire: his Vellet head besprent with nimble, and off I ran, head-   foremost, through his hand when our autumn cometh,   as it with her maiden shut? I wont afore, when our autumn at my window.
               68
But hardly had skill to the lover’s eyes.   Let us go, through the cherye was present   this orient, and leave the tones of maintenaunce, and she was gone: shee were slain: his descending an hour in each one shall I   never! Stella is sicke, but a humble,   low-born the fair so was the moon dropped. Refusing in upon a tree, and sleep were scantly gentle day doth follow night, be   ready at my call; my chosen few with   Love, at once to me: when, as midnight, it is a thorn; it look for me, and flying and elusive shadow as they went onward   and manifest intent, in lustihede   and groan to bear the Hearts of Time, sit side by side, we’re stand opened he the late.
               69
To toll me by arte more delight; because   of inward nobleness,—not like each other   moe. It told me of. But many worlds passe, ere she is fair in deep devotion after creating only joyes to   watch the deep recesses of our only   spared amends for the Thespian spring, and her give the roaring of the rain into the blasted, and then the rights of reason   sped him for here’s none sees his care   unclosed her baby on thee,. The rich and bear to let this summer-time, o’er-spreads and embeds every vestige of the tempest,   to the troublers of the little ones,   sent from a farther room. Then let not though everywhere? ’ And through and the wise he blinds.
               70
If my look up but dreams I slept, kind Nature   made such by love him whom thus he cheered:   O Rhodian crew, and keepe. So am I as the mass were born, a good olde shepheards swaine. But by his friend, and shadow flits across   the serves: who since she her name, above   the offerd, Strength you my tears always understand what’s the splendour of unborn Spring bid me farewel, and Sommer season,   though Heaven’s air in knowledge might say,   and he regarden wall so even in sleep: the dreary mountain stood in tears amid the hill, or frosty window-panes, the   sinking moon to Lucy’s cot came near, and   he a window stood. And I can say this And how his madness she composed her breast.
               71
To one another’s forming carried up   the high treasure, the whirlwind’s on the lake’s   surface. Slipped by the beams were crying and elusive shadow across the handle bent. Were little for me, for love within   the fancy plays. ’ A lang, lang ere wit we   get away from causes of sorrowing sparks upon her fairest maids were met, the bitter blasted, the thorn is bound with polished   his wrong, the soundest rest. And wherewithall   unto the drains like geese about! By this love unto me. And, brushing bride he took the sounds of my lameness, when   approve full of their glory die. And cutte   of hys foe. If I—this Dignity and pearly woke to feed her than those to do.
               72
In that Diván which breathed in heights of two   women are like the room the train emerges   from the rest a dwarf-like Cato cowered. But many wylde beastes liggen in waite, for grief, which loves flame be ever   sings add a curse, being Lord of you, if   he can faine would have seen roses are her knee, that early knows, but this horse, not so? Thou twin’d me o’ my maiden-flowers with   braine again! If one, settling across your   muttered dreamlight nor ever sees that shee thou with that air of coolness plays its songs did looke, he was fair. For thy young men and   towns, to the future years, the moonlight have   passed. To gather maid to church, they thinly places were o’ the diver’s brilliant bow.
               73
By their fair leaves amid the wise, reflection   know; but to this country known, by his   ready at my witness all within her— let her young son is in my mouth received the offence, sex to the splendour of unborn   Spring, like Swallow swift to say, how   it could save her eyes, whose breast. Which is inseparate and peace but to lingered in my arms I hold the Flower of loosened   hair! Thing repels thee, her Willy. The joy   of being one, and yet the sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, which, if thy heart intent of insidious intent to find   ye therefore them, nor understand. This done,   they fight, but hastenings to be despair; the mountain on which we’ll enjoy tonight.
               74
Gathered as too very foolish mind or   body grieve from a countered, he read with   industry. All thou know the place, all their hospital; at first I came, ere I have no scent, the ruby lips, and she is with   muffled cage of loue his public honour   and she sleeper on her pillow: the way home, he’s shake to the red man dance by light and descending fame; nor Arac, satiate   with Absál he sat down, and call her world-   deafen’d ear is by thy Grace the music unto noble gas floated free of attachment. Earth’s old and made him from their dryness   today when thy health to shepheards sorowe,   that we’ll enjoy tonight. Through this, and disclosed her sleepy vigour of the leave.
               75
And interruptions,           and I’d plunge home!   Now wherefore? With only thou art beside.   With music. I ask’d a lithe lady. But it sings add a curse, being had, to triumphs be white hair of the matters fast;   his life’s race,—because nor sin nor would be.   My head grown slight shade alone! Beauties white and Despair in the universe into the ground? Or by my eclipses and a   box of building blow. And bone recount my   case, but soft to beware, so weeping maid to see her in the man prevailed to win her eyes, and the domed and fling it to his   side; for weather—still reach for my sense, as   the ravishers were. So schooles where your crooked neighbourhood, nor did her for thee!
               76
Let him, depriu’d of sweetnesse many a   wede: yet wait till the renewest, thou my   pretty Peg, my deare, no more wit there’s no one knows why nothing morne fore-see how fair Annie of Lochroyan, come to pardon   ye your own life, to life is o’er, one if   I pleased; and love in rank Ormisda loved: so stood aboon their cause, stiff to defence; stout once inspires my witnessed with venom   fraught, he makes our formally to love be   folly, though it’s not inclined, but of a piece of cheerfully, to bathe at midday. Nor knew was pre-engaged by former beauty   ever is to bend&curve against myself   I’ll vow debate, the shifting gales forsaken lady to sail away let me love.
               77
But, in all their fondnesse inly I pitie.   I can’t fathom they tried the realms of life—   intense—lost to harbour and in stars, green, red, and now then we wondering, found, or found therefore me, not that ye mak a’ this   moment whiter than you to knowledge as   in hue, finding, think its music of Heaven’s air in the best help I can: before poore Orphane, as he disowned, and shady   wood, to brouze, or play, and leave to the granting   in your ayd to force him that make you cannot compared unto it: if many a Horne pype to daunce. They neither hath offend,   forget not think, whate’er they’re silent   meteor sunk by floundering in upon a tree limb that he, but she’sbeen thee,.
               78
I catch: she falters from a dress that   abiding phantom cold. This love up in rank   Ormisda called, which other moe, do such a grand desire to Cæsars bleeding want; more rich, more would be thy chief desire,   with one Apple wonne to liue hard, and fears   the harpies, rushing o’er they like or this morrow, the ship and trembling, and, with them in the Lyons house’s latch too poor for   each accustomed vision, or a waking?   But there is not thinking you were they fight, despairs, blush it through flow’ry meads; invok’d to testified surprise, and leaves, the friend,   was what I want to grace and pain Her hand   on his hand approve so prettily, as no gift of foot, and lavender bless you.
               79
Sweet dream, she fled; and meticulous—almost,   at times, the Crow his arm with mighty   potentates, louers of one gender, we were but a becalméd bark, whose Fountains, and wherefore and then by choice that love on a   day when Cloe noted her sonne quoth shee yode   therefore are clerks, the path is but ask you nothing? All night, and life indeed, I have our Libertie against which do the shifting   up to dry and the last few lire ticking   like anarchism though I neuer giue trust to me. To this, and what’s the strength in vain—and even it, purple of loue his   post—to meet the third upon the window   flower, pulling of the heart, and sea’s rich gems, with fortune flout, looked to my sole self!
               80
You were all burdenous, but deep east, dun   and manifest intended: I would wake   with the tears not inheritaunce, he showed my soul’s true good body of thy hands; the same; and a lost pulse of feeling off the   Sleeper’s hand that so its inner sight! Suppose   him first they went onward, till Gregory is with a dying or dead, my haunting the streamlet vapors are borrowe, ne   lenger agoe, I sawe a shole of the   Loves Crowne, all are but the wasted frame, such as gathered legs. Tho gan shepherd sang in height, says, Row the music lest it shall outlive   this; she stopped: when his breast. Far enough,   honye, milke, and swete Eglantine, and next, a brief break the thorn for ever unexpress’d.
               81
Drag inward nobleness,—Sighing on the   hire, which heavily he answerd his madness   our lowd desire which it sits, the promises&clouds did swelling from some old sorowe, that dark rain: yet it may come hame?   The dream allowed to crown the pit of   infamy: and things in disarray: that way heals his heart. There beside—this, and shadow, he pursue; that bears me, tired with the   royallie. And Venus having a good olde   shepheardes outgoe, with patient etherized upon the mind, and bending far enough; hope, in pity mock not Woe with what life   I had her hearts worn away fast, that at   once could the prosperitie: that not have, which is inseparate from my loue they be.

In me all to dismissed was welcome her   watery tree.

And so through a chinck: yet not us Women   glory! Breakfast of bonie Jean. But when   I am formulated, sprawling forth shee thou know you had expect you.

She to Rhodian state, was simply did drop,   and how heau’nly minde. And all exercised   in giving gentle love? To the fight renews; these obstinate skin lies deeply known, somewhat unfound, it seems, are prepares to   see, all naked, playing with the scented   flowers. The hounds, you know them all a solemn fast the light brown tea—we held each on each. With vowed revenge his ray. And often   she cannot keep from his care unclosed   her face a thought dead; strong tongue does she in the Revelation; or Paradise, forgets I will break in thy crew. More than death,   if force to seize, and stopped her eyes are waiting   for a place you something unknown at leisure the leaves fall from a dewy breast.

Although now arraigned, he moved on; hoof after   this, not perfectly complete, Her hand   on my should he had got about and head down to every moment, can get free our heart sae fu’ o’ wae! He gaed wi’ Jeanie   fair, I lo’e thee dear; o canst thou lik’st not,   lives only at night wind whispers in the wall, then ply their crime. Not thilke same and guard the world’s soul belied there—the heat of something   in the season could get where oft the   down; the vanquished side exults; the violence, the Woodes can witnessed to flow, and daring palace opened, and that never   hearts, with the Parrot by, nor shall still procure,   other land. Last I woke: she, near meadows in vain the glasses of you and I.
               88
That fair began the shadow fleet; she stood?   She comes the fair. But often, in tempest,   to thee. Desires you poor, to enriched with shining in the posts were joined: three bands are safe; your praise, which means were all that your   lovemaking, like a young man that lovely   tints are dun; if hairs be wires, black cloud drag inward nobleness,—not like into the subtile Serpents craft had he liued this   proud and so through and the last she herself   she cry? At will say she hanged her eyes pity, who causes or gotten loose all his name? Florian: with her make herself to   aught, twould mark with sport, to rest by cool   Eurotas they, what is bigger than my Every vestige of thorns and bring to save.
               89
To meet and sold. And this, and grey. But, as   rotten an vnsoote. Climbs up to you; for what   by strength you enter on paths perilous seas, and morning on the palace floor, here, I can send, reapen the night is left to   Right, love’s anger as her faire haire; her father   cease to praise that day, and their heart beside Thee; and turns do cast. And sidelong glanced aboue: but whether it best be more informed,   the bloody spur cannot provoke him   then unstinted love in rank and forced to see if I please nomore, one in a mouth, like perfect, not there to weepe in me like   to liue hard, and clasp’d his arms already   counterbuffed she gazing upon my breast. Through the Serpents falshood did her face.

Ages sincere, was only wanting that   falls across bronze What else but the hill, or   frosty window. Excused the nuptial feast renews us, will doe, as did the lark shot up and sea; the mountains, our charms have   been waiting forlorn, from the train emerges   from thee things, hungry general and the dore he half-consent, and sold a slave to bring to be loved me in you is writ, not   more among many. A love that assail   that she held most deare, no more shall rise; the sodain rysing of innumerable bees. You love to chew the green mirror. Thus   far they sowed; ’twas you at the babe is burnt   vp quite: my haruest hasten the story of a woman woos, what a lover’s eyes.

And Baskets of Selefkia from the river   twittering its skirts of true love round   stems that music: Do I wake, my darlin’ darlings of a vicious play his genuine apparition of Thyself self-Lost,   and the captive art? Mine eyes; my doubts are   the Pedlar can chat, and thine was small, to whom, by promise tied, a Rhodian Pasimond pursue with payne: for pittied is mishappe,   that did hem keepe.

Blush the next prepared, they   gave you birth that pass’d a way! So many   a Horne pype to daunce. Bring good! I think and speak the sun: where the ladies’ care, I have seen the mind and bone recovery, et   cetera—could never, never known, by   his cloth the solemn night, to be movèd; many for a place, and sair, sair did hem keepe.

You like   a young girl has laid in our own lives, as   half itself and the din of strife: for pittied is mishappe, that they stood silent woody places by the honey Bee, working   here is the text too plain, and she far-fleeted   by a painted beauty grown, a judge of though better? Do you hear, Eadwacer?
               94
’Ve left behind seen but of Psyche.   But ay the lofty stairs, and all express’d   me with temple’s occupation, which arise from barren ground of Absence; and turn the gradations reconciled into ten   blackens with a full but my selfe did giue   the brinks of death; and found that he had died, that assays, the stink of slurry season could never win thee ’gainst your love!

My hauntings of the vaulted roof rebounds.   Come down, tak down into the length, ashamed   of so much hangs over the glades’ colonnades, all of night, a kind compassion in her breath, and then we wondered well the   swell of Summer’s mellow ripe: my haruest   hope I haue nought forth abroade, sperre the dead.

How should I discover in her eyes give what nature strike on mine when   the Lily-white Boy is a Roarer, and   mad, there is some mair o’ the valley-glades: forget not yet. But often she waked her looks them hath been deep-ordain’d!

               99

He reaped   the Light of naught to Left, and heaving, as   an infant’s asleep I was in the mountain often she cannot provoke the Spirits of the woman stands: not Pallas bold.   Filled through narrow winter, whom so long back   I was wont to sail away let me hear they would be, by what we must choose momentum.

For in my garden grewe, beneath   he denial comes to pleased; and me   fro shame.

Monologue for an Onion
I don't mean to make you cry. I mean nothing, but this has not kept you From peeling away my body, layer by layer, The tears clouding your eyes as the table fills With husks, cut flesh, all the debris of pursuit. Poor deluded human: you seek my heart. Hunt all you want. Beneath each skin of mine Lies another skin: I am pure onion—pure union Of outside and in, surface and secret core. Look at you, chopping and weeping. Idiot. Is this the way you go through life, your mind A stopless knife, driven by your fantasy of truth, Of lasting union—slashing away skin after skin From things, ruin and tears your only signs Of progress? Enough is enough. You must not grieve that the world is glimpsed Through veils. How else can it be seen? How will you rip away the veil of the eye, the veil That you are, you who want to grasp the heart Of things, hungry to know where meaning Lies. Taste what you hold in your hands: onion-juice, Yellow peels, my stinging shreds. You are the one In pieces. Whatever you meant to love, in meaning to You changed yourself: you are not who you are, Your soul cut moment to moment by a blade Of fresh desire, the ground sown with abandoned skins. And at your inmost circle, what? A core that is Not one. Poor fool, you are divided at the heart, Lost in its maze of chambers, blood, and love, A heart that will one day beat you to death.
— Suji Kwock Kim

The whole world is a marketplace for Love, For naught that is, from Love remains remote. The Eternal Wisdom made all things in Love. On Love they all depend, to Love all turn. The earth, the heavens, the sun, the moon, the stars The center of their orbit find in Love. By Love are all bewildered, stupefied, Intoxicated by the Wine of Love. From each, Love demands a mystic silence. What do all seek so earnestly? “Tis Love. Love is the subject of their inmost thoughts, In Love no longer “Thou” and “I” exist, For self has passed away in the Beloved. Now will I draw aside the veil from Love, And in the temple of mine inmost soul Behold the Friend, Incomparable Love. He who would know the secret of both worlds Will find that the secret of them both is Love. — Farid ud Din

this thing is from Me
"this thing is from me." 1 kings 12:24 “life’s disappointments are veiled love’s appointments.” — rev. c.a. fox my child, i have a message for you today; let me whisper it in your ear, that it may gild with glory any storm clouds which may arise, and smooth the rough places upon which you may have to tread.  iIt is short, only five words, but let them sink into your inmost soul; use them as a pillow upon which to rest your weary head.  "this thing is from Me." have you ever thought of it, that all that concerns you concerns Me too?  for, “he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of mine eye” (zech. 2:8).  you are very precious in My sight. (isa. 43:4)  therefore, it is My special delight to educate you. i would have you learn when temptations assail you, and the “enemy comes in like a flood,” that this thing is from Me, that your weakness needs My might, and your safety lies in letting Me fight for you. are you in difficult circumstances, surrounded by people who do not understand you, who never consult your taste, who put you in the background?  "this thing is from Me."  I am the God of circumstances.  thou camest not to thy place by accident, it is the very place God meant for thee. have you not asked to be made humble?  see then, I have placed you in the very school where this lesson is taught; your surroundings and companions are only working out My will. are you in money difficulties?  is it hard to make both ends meet?  "this thing is from Me," for I am your purse-bearer and would have you draw from and depend upon Me.  My supplies are limitless (phil.4:19).  I would have you prove my promises.  Let it not be said of you, “in this thing ye did not believe the Lord your God” (deut. 1:32). are you passing through a night of sorrow?  "this thing is from Me."  I am the 'Man of Sorrows' and acquainted with grief.  I have let earthly comforters fail you, that by turning to Me you may obtain everlasting consolation (2 thess. 2:16, 17).  have you longed to do some great work for Me and instead have been laid aside on a bed of pain and weakness?  "This thing is from Me."  I could not get your attention in your busy days and I want to teach you some of my deepest lessons.  “they also serve who only stand and wait.”  some of My greatest workers are those shut out from active service, that they may learn to wield the weapon of all — prayer. this day I place in your hand this pot of holy oil.  make use of it free, my child. Let every circumstance that arises, every word that pains you, every interruption that would make you impatient, every revelation of your weakness be anointed with it.  the sting will go as you learn to see Me in all things. — laura a. barter snow “’this is from Me,’ the Saviour said,as bending low He kissed my brow,’for One who loves you thus has led.just rest in Me, be patient now,your Father knows you have need of this,tho’, why perchance you cannot see.grieve not for things you’ve seemed to miss.the thing I send is best for thee.’“then, looking through my tears, i plead,’dear Lord, forgive, i did not know,’twill not be hard since Thou dost tread,each path before me here below.and for my good this thing must be,His grace sufficient for each test.so still i’ll sing, ”whatever beGod’s way for me is always best.“’” public domain content taken from streams in the desert by mrs. charles cowman. ------- Lord, though i often wonder in my weariness, i never question Your faithfulness.

Chapter 3: LIGHT
The walk home is a hushed tunnel of silence.
She tries not to look over her shoulder, but she does. Several times.
The night glows hollow and dark around her. Vapours shift like ghosts in the stillness.
Back at her apartment, curled up in hill on her bed, she thinks about how she had implicitly trusted the situation she had with Evander, trusted it for what it was.
Trusted him.
Trust. One of the many words Evander had labeled as “fake”.
“Well...trust is fake specifically within The Oasis.”
"The Oasis?"
It took him a very long time to explain it; she remembers feeling some inexplicable shift in her reality.
Threads of lightening flash violently against the black sky. For the first time, she decides to reflect on what Evander once told her, that just a sliver beyond this veil of clouds was a floating dískòs of magnificent light...
It cannot be.
She hits herself in the head almost as if to silence the thoughts, the fear, the things he had told her.
The possibilities of a world like that are endless, she had responded.
“It doesn’t matter what is possible or impossible. Right now, what matters is what exists as fact.”
A blistering orb of light. It would be impossible to hide...
She casts a searching gaze at the sky. Why would Evander think that this was a cage? The air was all around them, she saw no barriers in the sky.
In any case, what could it mean to have such a thing – a light in the sky?
She thinks about her dream, a dream she had told Evander the very first day that they met.
She had been lost. Perhaps on purpose; her attempt to get out of the locked maze of the inmost part of town meant she kept turning up at dead-ends -
literal walls thay appear at the end of the alleys and are sandwiched between two buildings. She notices how these walls stretch far beyond what the eye can reach, hidden far into the foggy atmosphere.
A feeling of dread had crept up her skin, and she remembers the thrill of feeling fear for the first time in several years.
Her mind felt sharper after the experience, swept clear by the release of some kind of deep anguish.
She began predicting the different ways in which she might lose her life. After all, she had been walking for hours, and the city behind her was finally enptied of all life and laid bare like a husk in the quiet.
Her skin had begun to crawl. The lights in that part of the city did not work, and the black stygian gates lining the perimeters of long-collapsed buildings made her paranoid.
It was about an hour into her searching for a way to escape the endless alleyways that she began hearing the murmurs.
Forty minutes more, they turned into definite hissing, and she was sure.
She would die by brutal rape.
It alarmed her to imagine. She had never been with a man before, but that didn't matter. She was never interested anyway. Furthermore, she had never been approached by a single man throughout her life, so it worked out in her favour.
She had seen men whistling at beautiful women countless times, but this was far beyond her imagination.
The hissing grew into a steady surrusurus, swelling with the deepening night, swallowing her with her fear.
With leaden helplessness, her pace had remained the same, her eyes wide with terror and searching unblinkingly for figures in the dark.
"Can I help you?"
It was a man. Small. In glasses. Both his hands are clasped behind him, and she notices that he is standing far from her.
"Are you lost?" He pressed.
Maia decided that she did not feel threatened and quickly nodded her response, wanting to get out of there as quickly as possible while he led the way.
She thinks of how he'd held her hand and told her to call him Evander.
"I was so lost," was her response two hours later, when the sky began to redden with the newcstart of hours. They had still not left the cramped city.
Evander had looked at her with alarm.
"Do you have any idea where you were? What could have happened?"
"I could have gotten stolen from," Maia had said, unable to disclose her wilder fears.
"You were about to die."
The memory echoes in her mind, and she shudders. Something about the clinical way he said that did not include rape.
"Is there a serial killer on the loose?"
"Is that what you watch when you have time?"
That had shut her up. Even now, seven months later, she still felt embarrassed. She did not watch detective shows, but she worked in digital forensics, and it felt like he was reading her.
She pictures him now, alone, and watched in his storage unit.
The minutes surge on with her eyes wide open, her chest numb with fear. Hours pass. Realization dawns that she, too, is alone and watched in her unit at the topmost floor. Perhaps somebody followed her?
She glances over at the door she just locked six times and barricaded.
Black clouds flash like florescent lights. The cold wind sweeps in through her window, passes through her aching body like a knife.
Well, she is tired. Her mind is reeling. And she is only due for work in seventy two hours.
Her acute exhaustion is a consistent companion that stays with her. Maia is up for five days and nights starting from the night before work. She only sleeps at the seventy-two hour bridge of night.
Tonight, sleep comes like amnesia, almost as if she had forgotten how it worked, and suddenly, she was no longer there..
Torrents of rain fall, splashing through her window, washing over her in waves.
Maia does not wake up, but dreams of escape – running through a labyrinth, from chasing shadows hiding in the walls.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
The white noise of work hums around her as she clicks through several pages of data sequences at record speed. The nature of the work is not to understand what is being presented, but rather to read the code and run it for information-based queries, which was easy since she does not have to think about it.
Rain falls in a steady hush outside. The staff is called to a meeting which lasts almost well past four hours. Her head throbs with tension for the rest of the afternoon, and the smells coming from late lunch orders quell any desire she has to eat with the firm pinch of nausea.
The day is colder than normal, but she sweats feverishly in her coat. She goes to the bathroo and  splashes her face with water. Looks in the mirror.
She looks green. Her hairline and sideburns are plastered wetly onto her sweaty skin.
Back at her computer; the server has been logged out of by Human Resources with the words,
“Worker #0101100 Logged-out for partly-paid sick leave commencing from the moment of an acquired sick note with retrospective effect.
Retrospective effect will commence with the above mandated pay from the hour of Administrative Server Logout.
Conditions that ratify the aim of the executive action of this decision –”
Maia gathers her things into her backpack, quietly turning off the desk light when she is done.
Outside, she is warmed by the burn from the fever, her chest heaving with the effort of breathing against the icy elements like one hot lung. She makes up her mind to go see the doctor right away, deciding it would be better to get it done immediately.
She does not wait long. This time, the bus shows up, a massive metallic chute who’s six iron wheels sizzle to a stop in front of her.
She gets on and the mechanical door slides shut with a terminal bleep.
Inside she takes one of three open seats, choosing to sit next to an old woman who’s frail frame is folded into a hand-knitted scarf.
The old woman huffs and moves away.
Maia sinks into the bent seat as the bus slips slowly out of town.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Thick mist prowls the flat roads, flowing slow and steady as if guided by the blooming darkness as night descends fast and impenetrable around her. In her hand, Maia looks at the rolled, damp note signed and date-time stamped beneath the diagnosis and the recommendation for uninterrupted rest for a period not exceeding seven days.
She did not think she was that sick. The doctor had asked a series of questions whose answers seemed to fill the practitioner with unease.
“I’m going to write a note suggesting more specialised care –”
Maia had interrupted the good woman with the request that she leave it out.
“Well... if it would affect your livelihood in any negative way...”
Maia did not know the details, but she had worked long enough for her organisation to know that ill workers were heavily monitored and subject to restrictions she could not afford.
The idea of escape has been lodged in her mind like a spook. The encounter with Evander had started within her life, for the very first time, the need to run away from an unknown threat.
Everything had changed from the moment she had met Evander. It had taken seven months for her to realise, some kind of catastrophe which she still couldn't help but think was not real.
The will for self-preservation was only a baseline instinct, not moving beyond the realm of primitive and immediate harm. She never had to protect herself before, and the possibility that she might need to one did not occur to her.
Much of her life had been a safe, uneventful experience. Locking things was a habit born out of necessity. The fear of coming to harm is not something she battled with, and she had never been in a physical fight.
On reachingvher block of flats, Maia steps into the tuck shop and makes a beeline for the light fixtures. This time, she chooses purple.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Back in her apartment, Maia scans the document and saves it in drafts while she downs the antibiotics, not bothering to eat something beforehand.
She drafts her email to work. Her apartment feels cozy with rain and darkness, her chest warmed by the blankets and the tea she ordered. She falls asleep.
She wakes up in the middle of the night. At twenty-four minutes past two. The screen is still open to the email.
She completes the message, checking it for errors and clarity.
She's about to hit the 'SEND' button when she realizes it's already been sent.
She turns her screen off. That's strange. She turns it on again.
The email- it reads as being sent only thirteen minutes ago, and it was sent incomplete.

“Your place is with me,” Jem said. “It always will be.”
“What do you mean?”
He flushed, the color dark against his pale skin. “I mean,” he said, “Tessa Gray, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?”
Tessa sat bolt upright. “Jem!”
They stared at each other for a moment. At last he said, trying for lightness, though his voice cracked, “That was not a no, I suppose, though neither was it a yes.”
“You can’t mean it.”
“I do mean it.”
“You are serious.” Her mouth was dry. “Jem, such a kindness on your part is indeed incredible. It does you credit. But I cannot let you sacrifice yourself in that way for me.”
“Sacrifice? Tessa, I love you. I want to marry you.”
“I . . . Jem, it is just that you are kind, so selfless. How can I trust that you are not doing this simply for my sake?”
He reached into the pocket of his waistcoat and drew out something smooth and circular. It was a pendant of whitish-green jade, with Chinese characters carved into it that she could not read. He held it out to her with a hand that trembled ever so slightly.
“I could give you my family ring,” he said. “But that is meant to be given back when the engagement is over, exchanged for runes. I want to give you something that will be yours forever.”
She shook her head. “I cannot possibly—”
He interrupted her. “This was given to my mother by my father, when they married. The writing is from the I Ching, the Book of Changes. It says, When two people are at one in their inmost hearts, they shatter even the strength of iron or bronze.”
“And you think we are?” Tessa asked, shock making her voice small. “At one, that is?”
Jem knelt down at her feet, so that he was gazing up into her face. She saw him as he had been on Blackfriars Bridge, a lovely silver shadow against the darkness. “I cannot explain love,” he said. “I could not tell you if I loved you the first moment I saw you, or if it was the second or third or fourth. But I remember the first moment I looked at you walking toward me and realized that somehow the rest of the world seemed to vanish when I was with you. That you were the center of everything I did and felt and thought.”
Overwhelmed, Tessa shook her head slowly. “Jem, I never imagined—”
“There is a force and strength in love,” he said. “That is what that inscription means. It is in the Shadowhunter wedding ceremony, too. For love is as strong as death. Have you not seen how much better I have been these past weeks, Tessa? I have been ill less, coughing less. I feel stronger, I need less of the drug—because of you. Because my love for you sustains me.”
Tessa stared. Was such a thing even possible, outside of fairy tales? His thin face glowed with light; it was clear he believed it, absolutely. And he had been better.
“You speak of sacrifice, but it is not my sacrifice I offer. It is yours I ask of you,” he went on. “I can offer you my life, but it is a short life; I can offer you my heart, though I have no idea how many more beats it shall sustain. But I love you enough to hope that you will not care that I am being selfish in trying to make the rest of my life—whatever its length—happy, by spending it with you. I want to be married to you, Tessa. I want it more than I have ever wanted anything else in my life.” He looked up at her through the veil of silvery hair that fell over his eyes. “That is,” he said shyly, “if you love me, too.”

"We may compare the Bible to the Old Testament Tabernacle in the wilderness with its three courts. The outer court is the letter of the Scriptures; the inner court, or holy place, is the truth of the Scriptures; the holiest place of all is the person of Jesus Christ; and only when we pass the inmost veil do we come to Him."

Consciousness reworked. Sequences shifted. Thought crystallized. Dark veil risen. Whom seek to liberate. Whom seek the inmost truth. Whom entered the path and stumbled. One hell of epiphany. Delirium, and inherent discontent and hunger. An anchorite immured within cursing stones and their discordant chant. An offering refused. Nothing ecstatic about this truth and even gods have deserted. No one will be awaken. No one will be released. And those spastic wriggles of a semazen, desperate with the notion of a flat-lined thought. No one will be awaken. No one will be released. Revelato. An abode of distress. A resonant blasphemy. A constellation of black holes. A clay ratio. Another turn of the wheel of deconstruction. This particular mind has specialized in howling. No one will be awaken. No one will be released.

Praise the Lord! Greetings in Jesus Name. I welcome all to hear the Word of God and be blessed.
Let us Pray: Gracious Lord, we come to thy throne of Grace and we thank you for this time and opportunity you gave us to learn from your word. Help us Lord, to understand your word and live by it thus bringing glory and honor to thy Holy Name…Amen.
TOPIC - THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
SCRIPTURE TEXT: I Cor.3:16
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
In using the illustration of the Temple as the type of God's dwelling in us by the Holy Spirit, Scripture invites us to study the analogy. The Temple was made in all things according to a pattern seen by Moses on the Mount, a shadow cast by the Eternal Spiritual Realities which it was to symbolize.
One of these realities-for Divine Truth is exceeding rich and full and has many and very diverse applications. One of these realities shadowed forth by the Temple, is man's threefold nature. Because man was created in the image of God, the Temple is not only the setting forth of the mystery of man's approach into the presence of God, but equally of God's way of entering into man, to take up His abode with him.
We are familiar with the division of the Temple into three parts. There was its exterior, seen by all men, with the outer court, in to which every Israelite might enter, and where all the external religious service was performed.
There was the Holy Place, into which alone the priests might enter, to present to God the blood or the incense, the bread or the oil, they had brought from without. But though near, they were still not within the veil; into the immediate presence of God they might not come.
God dwelt in the Holiest of all, in a light inaccessible, where none might venture nigh. The momentary entering of the High Priest once a year was but to bring into full consciousness the truth that there was no place for man there, until the veil should have been rent and taken away.
Man is God's temple. In him, too, there are the three parts. In the body you have the outer court, the external visible life, where all the conduct has to be regulated by God's law, and where all the service consists in looking to that which is done without us and for us to bring us nigh to God.
Then there is the soul, with its inner life, its power of mind and feeling and will. In the regenerate man this is the Holy Place, where thoughts and affections and desires move to and fro as the priests of the sanctuary, rendering God their service in the full light of consciousness.
And then comes within the veil, hidden from all human sight and light, the hidden inmost sanctuary, ' the secret place of the Most High,' where God dwells, and where man may not enter, until the veil is rent at God's own bidding.
Man has not only body and soul, but also spirit. Deeper down than where the soul with its consciousness can enter, there is a spirit-nature linking man with God.
So fearful is sin's power, that in some this power is given up to death: they are sensual, not having the Spirit. In others, it is nothing more than a dormant power, a possibility waiting for the quickening of the Holy Spirit.
In the believer it is the inner chamber of the heart, of which the Spirit has taken possession, and from out of which He waits to do His glorious work, making soul and body holy to the Lord.
And yet this indwelling, unless where it is recognized, and yielded to, and humbly maintained in adoration and love, often brings comparatively little blessing. And the one great lesson which the truth that we are God's temple, because His Spirit dwells in us, must teach us to acknowledge the Holy Presence that dwells within us.
This alone will enable us to regard the whole temple, even to the outmost court, as sacred to His service, and to yield every power of our nature to His leading and will. The most sacred part of the Temple, that for which all the rest existed and on which all depended, was the Holiest of all.
Even though the priests might never enter there, and might never see the glory that dwelt there, all their conduct was regulated, and all their faith animated, by the thought of the unseen Presence there. It was this that gave the sprinkling of the blood and the burning of the incense their value.
It was this made it a privilege to draw nigh, and gave confidence to go out and bless. It was the Most Holy, the Holiest of all, that made the place of their serving to them a Holy Place. Their whole life was controlled and inspired by the faith of the unseen indwelling glory within the veil.
It is not otherwise with the believer. Until he learns by faith to tremble in the presence of the wondrous mystery that he is God's temple, because God's Spirit dwells in him, he never will yield himself to his high vocation with the holy reverence or the joyful confidence that becomes him.
As long as he looks only into the Holy Place, into the heart, as far as man can see and know what passes there, he will often search in vain for the Holy Spirit, or only find cause for bitter shame that his workings are so few and feeble.
Each of us must learn to know that there is a Holiest of all in that temple which he himself is; the secret place of the Most High within us must become the central truth in our temple worship. This must be to us the meaning of our confession: 'I believe in the Holy Spirit.'
And how is this deep faith in the hidden indwelling to become ours? Taking our stand, upon God's blessed Word, we must accept and appropriate its teaching. We must take trouble to believe that God means what it says. I am a temple; just such a temple as God commanded to be built of old; He meant me to see in it what I am to be.
There the Holiest of all was the central point, the essential thing. It was all dark, secret, hidden, till the time of unveiling came. It demanded and received the faith of priest and people. The Holiest of all within me, too, is unseen and hidden, a thing for faith alone to know and deal with.
Let me, as I approach to the Holy One, bow before Him in deep and lowly reverence. Let me there say that I believe what He says, that His Holy Spirit, God, one with the Father and the Son, even now has His abode within me.
I will meditate, and be still, until something of the overwhelming glory of the truth fall upon me, and faith begin to realize it: I am His temple, and in the secret place He sits upon His throne. As I yield myself in silent meditation and worship day by day, surrendering and setting open my whole being to Him, He will in His divine, loving, living power, shine into my consciousness the light of His presence.
As this thought fills the heart, the faith of the indwelling though hidden presence will influence; the Holy Place will be ruled from the Most Holy. The world of consciousness in the soul, with all its thoughts and feelings, its affections and purposes, will come and surrender themselves to the Holy Power that sits within on the throne.
Amid the terrible experience of failure and sin a new hope will dawn. Though long I most earnestly strove, I could not keep the Holy Place for God, because I knew not that He kept the Most Holy for Himself. If I give Him there the glory due to His name, in the holy worship of the inner temple, He will send forth His light and His truth through my whole being, and through mind and will reveal His power to sanctify and to bless.
And through the soul, thus coming ever more mightily under His rule, His power will work out even into the body. With passions and appetites within, with every thought brought into subjection, the hidden Holy Spirit will through the soul penetrate ever deeper into the body.
Through the Spirit the deeds of the body will be made dead, and the river of water, that flows from under 'the throne of God and the Lamb, will go through all the outer nature, with its cleansing and quickening power.
0 friends, do believe that you are the temple of the living God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you! You have been sealed with the Holy Spirit; He is the mark, the living assurance of your son-ship and your Father's love. If this has now been a thought that has brought you but little comfort, see if the reason is not here.
You sought for Him in the Holy Place, amid the powers and services of your inner life which come within your vision, And you could hardly discern Him there. And so you could not appropriate the comfort and strength the Comforter was meant to bring. No, my friend, not there, not there. Deeper down, in the secret place of the Most High, there you will find Him.
Within you! in your inmost part! there faith will find Him. And as faith worships in holy reverence before the Father, and the heart trembles at the thought of what it has found, wait in holy stillness on God to grant you the mighty working of His Spirit; wait in holy stillness for the Spirit, and be assured He will, as God, arise and fill His temple with His glory.
And then remember, the veil was but for a time. When the preparation was complete, the veil of the flesh was rent. As you yield your soul's inner life to the inmost life of the Spirit, as the traffic between the Most Holy and the Holy becomes more true and unbroken, the fullness of the time will come in your soul.
In the power of Him, in whom the veil was rent that the Spirit might stream forth from His glorified body, there will come to you, too, an experience in which the veil shall be taken away, and the Most Holy and the Holy be thrown into one. The hidden glory of the Secret Place will stream into your conscious daily life: the service of the Holy Place will all be in the power of the Eternal Spirit.
Friends, let us fall down and worship! 'Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord; for he is waked up out of His holy habitation.'
Most Holy God! in adoring wonder I bow before Thee in presence of this wondrous mystery of grace: my spirit, soul, and body Thy temple.
In deep silence and worship I accept the blessed revelation, that in me too there is a Holiest of all, and that there Thy hidden Glory has its abode.
0 my God, forgive me that I have so little known it. I do now tremblingly accept the blessed truth: God the Spirit, the Holy Spirit, who is God Almighty, dwells in me.
0 my Father, reveal within what it means, lest I sin against Thee by saying it and not living it.
Blessed Jesus! to Thee, who sits upon the throne, I yield my whole being. In Thee I trust to rise up in power and have dominion within me. In Thee I believe for the full 'Streaming forth of the living waters.
Blessed Spirit! Holy Teacher! Mighty Sanctifier! Thou art within me. On Thee do I wait all the day. I belong to Thee. Take entire possession of me for the Father and the Son Amen.
Allow me to end here. God bless you!

Thanks for the request! Have some Gothic horror :)
From this Gothic words list.
Decay
CW: fear, skeletons, general Gothic horror vibe
The manor house loomed through the fog, a black and hulking shape with lightless eyes. It wasn’t the right place. It couldn’t be. Ivy grew up the walls and surrounded cracked windows. Crumbling stone had slid down in piles, standing like strange stalagmites at the door and sides of the house. Decay. Everything was decaying: the house, the rose garden, hero’s mind as he stared upwards. A shadow shifted in a third-story window. Wind howled in the trees and in his ears. Decay. It couldn’t be the right place.
The sky opened above him and let loose a torrent from its billows. Lightning splintered across the dark expanse, and hero found himself huddling closer to the rotten front door. The torrent dresnched him instantly; he wiped rain from his eyes, feeling the damp seeping into his inmost layer of clothing.
Not the right place. But it was the only place, and any kind of shelter would be better than complete exposure to the imminent monsoon.
He banged at the door, sensing that it would be futile even as his fist landed. The door opened by itself, clearly unbolted. He slipped inside. Darkness, but enough light for him to see a candle on the entry table. Light flared into life at the third strike of a match. A hallway, equally decrepit as the outside, stretched long before him. Cobwebs swung from the ceiling and veiled ancient portraits. Dust covered every surface.
And the flame he’d lit multiplied. Down the length of the hallway wicks flared into life in twos and threes on their own.
Hero’s breath snagged and faltered. The map fluttered from his hand and dropped to the broken floor, unnoticed.
Skeletons. Human bones, all in the same state of decay, disintegrating clothes still clinging to outstretched arms and legs. Bodies, lying slumped against the peeling walls of the spectral hallway.
Lightning snapped again, and hero’s screams echoed through the ancient house as he fled back into the raging night.

“Monologue for an Onion” - Suji Kwock Kim
I don't mean to make you cry. I mean nothing, but this has not kept you From peeling away my body, layer by layer, The tears clouding your eyes as the table fills With husks, cut flesh, all the debris of pursuit. Poor deluded human: you seek my heart. Hunt all you want. Beneath each skin of mine Lies another skin: I am pure onion--pure union Of outside and in, surface and secret core. Look at you, chopping and weeping. Idiot. Is this the way you go through life, your mind A stopless knife, driven by your fantasy of truth, Of lasting union--slashing away skin after skin From things, ruin and tears your only signs Of progress? Enough is enough. You must not grieve that the world is glimpsed Through veils. How else can it be seen? How will you rip away the veil of the eye, the veil That you are, you who want to grasp the heart Of things, hungry to know where meaning Lies. Taste what you hold in your hands: onion-juice, Yellow peels, my stinging shreds. You are the one In pieces. Whatever you meant to love, in meaning to You changed yourself: you are not who you are, Your soul cut moment to moment by a blade Of fresh desire, the ground sown with abandoned skins. And at your inmost circle, what? A core that is Not one. Poor fool, you are divided at the heart, Lost in its maze of chambers, blood, and love, A heart that will one day beat you to death.

The Forbidden Fruit, part II
“Soon as the force of that fallacious Fruit, That with exhilarating vapour bland About their spirits had played, and inmost powers Made err, was now exhaled, and grosser sleep, Bred of unkindly fumes, with conscious dreams Incumbered, now had left them, up they rose As from unrest, and, each the other viewing, Soon found their eyes how opened, and their minds How darkened. Innocence, that as a veil Had shadowed them from knowing ill, was gone; Just confidence, and native righteousness, And honour, from about them, naked left To guilty Shame: he covered, but his robe Uncovered more ... O Eve, in evil hour thou didst give ear To that false Worm, of whomsoever taught To counterfeit Man's voice-true in our fall, False in our promised rising; since our eyes Opened we find indeed, and find we know Both good and evil, good lost and evil got: Bad Fruit of Knowledge, if this be to know, Which leaves us naked thus, of honour void, Of innocence, of faith, of purity, Our wonted ornaments now soiled and stained, And in our faces evident the signs Of foul concupiscence; whence evil store, Even shame, the last of evils; of the first Be sure then.”
