Alexander Search – The Giant's Reply

[BNP/E3, 78A – 5]

 

The Giant's Reply.

 

I met a giant upon my way;

     He looked more wise than Nature.

“Tell me some truth,” thus my tongue did betray

     My soul to that more than creature.

- “There is but one,” in an old voice strange

     He cried: “things are more, I say,

Than Time in which they seem to change

     And than Space that seems more than they.”

 

Alexander Search.

 

January 7th. 1908.
