Not by the Mind
Not by the wind have I been taught Profoundest truths I know; Not by the mind, however deep Its sounding lines way go.

These are the floods that tinge and shape The obvious of earth; ) These give the seen, the heard, the touched Significance and worth. More sure of these than I am sure Of body and of breath, How shall I trust the hand, the eye To tell me about death? —Adelaide Love in “Voices" (New York),
