For a Materialist
“You say that the soul is forever commingled with matter,
That it lives since the body lives and dies when that dies, i
That it.feels and thinks with the flesh and perceives creation With the body's eyes.
“The two are knit, I know, for the length of a lifetime;
But tell me —have you not.seen a spirit .unfold Its beauty and grow more vital, although the body
Was faded and old?
“Whence this splendour apart, this efflorescence, This gaining in strength through the years that the soul can show,
If it depend so wholly on forces receding, ’ On sap running low?” ’
—Adelaide Love, in The Tribune, Chicago.
