XXXI.

Up from Earth’s Center through the Seventh Gate
I rose, and on the Throne of Saturn sate,
    And many a Knot unravel’d by the Road;
But not the Master-knot of Human Fate.

There was the Veil through which I might not see:
    Some little talk awhile of ME and THEE
There was—and then no more of THEE and ME.
