The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

LI.

Whose secret Presence through Creation’s veins
Running Quicksilver-like eludes your pains;
    Taking all shapes from Mah to Mahi and
They change and perish all—but He remains;

LII.

A moment guessed—then back behind the Fold
Immerst of Darkness round the Drama roll’d
    Which, for the Pastime of Eternity,
He doth Himself contrive, enact, behold.
