He felt an inner secret joy!
A spirit of unfettered will
Through light and darkness moving still
Within the All to find its own,
To be immortal and alone.

Additional quotes by George William Russell

As smoke we vanish though the fire may burn.

Moulded to her by deep and deeper breath,
Neared to the hour when Beauty breathes her last
And knows herself in death.
