Duality.
I sleep, but my heart awakoth. My soul’s companion has a keener sense, More truly marks, more clearly registers, The thing I see, the thought that in me stirs ; She will inform me, when I journey, hence, What means my life’s turmoil—-experience Strangely the same, yet not the same, as hers. For still my slumbering consciousness defers
Its answer to the questions, ‘ Why ?’ and ‘ Whence ?’ Indwoller ! Though so distant seems the goal, Not uncompanioued shall my pilgrim soul Its via dolorosa still pursue ; Self-questioning, when I my life review, From fragment seeking to forecast the whole, I find myself in colloquy with you. Alfred Gurney, in Tho Spectator.
