Unsheathing Quotes

The beacon-blaze unsheathing turns The face of darkness pale And now with one grand chop gives clearance to Our human visions... (Richard Wilbur)

The immortal part of man shakes off from itself, one after the other, its outer casings, and - as the snake from its skin, the butterfly from its chrysalis - emerges from one after another, passing into a higher state of consciousness.
