Finite — to fail, but infinite to Venture —
For the one ship that struts the shore
Many's the gallant — overwhelmed Creature
Nodding in Navies nevermore —

-
Not so the infinite Relations — Below
Division is Adhesion's forfeit — On High
Affliction but a Speculation — And Woe
A Fallacy, a Figment, We knew — -
The Infinite a sudden Guest
Has been assumed to be —
But how can that stupendous come
Which never went away? -
They leave us with the Infinite.
But He — is not a man —
His fingers are the size of fists —
His fists, the size of men —
And whom he foundeth, with his Arm
As Himmaleh, shall stand —
Gibraltar's Everlasting Shoe
Poised lightly on his Hand,
So trust him, Comrade —...
