Only in the self we grope
To the misty end of time:
Truth has put an end to hope.
What of all the heart to love?
Sadder than for will or soul,
No light lured it on above;
Love has found itself the whole. (George William Russell)

Only in the self we grope To the misty end of time: Truth has put an end to hope. What of all the heart to love? Sadder than for will or soul, No light lured it on above; Love has found itself the whole.

I knew, by the smoke that so gracefully curl'd Above the green elms, that a cottage was near And I said, 'If there's peace to be found in the world, A heart that was humble might hope for it here.'
