Man's Oldest Preoccupation

Forever the dreamer's most cherished dream,

Forever the thinking man's deepest thought,

Too far beyond the cosmos's fringeless rim,

Yet too close to be in the heart's yearning caught:

                Ancient of Days,

                Least trod of ways,

That which doth dim Heaven's brightest city

Is none but man's own immortality.
