Ralph Waldo Emerson - Gnothi Seauton

 God sits in thee, Clouded and shrouded there doth sit, The Infinite Embosomed in a man;


He is in thy world,
But thy world knows him not.
He is the mighty Heart
From which life’s varied pulses part.
Clouded and shrouded there doth sit
The Infinite
Embosomed in a man;
And thou art stranger to thy guest
And know’st not what thou doth invest.
The clouds that veil his life within
Are thy thick woven webs of sin,
Which his glory struggling through
Darkens to thine evil hue.

MEME: Humility - getting old
