DE PROFUNDIS
“ Although I cannot see the twinkling stars Through all the brightness of the noonday glare, As, on my way, I look towards heaven’s bars, I ‘ know ’ that they are there. “ Yet, when, in subterranean depths, I gaze Through darkly-circling vistas from below, The glamour of the sun’s meridian rays Is lost, and lo! stars glow! “So, when in Error’s labyrinths I tread. And stumble in its dark, primeval night, I know that, glorious o’er my drooping head, There breaks Diviner Light!” —Allan Macneill, in the ‘Oxford Times.’
