Woman was the offspring of a sunbeam and a sylvan echo .] <br> THUS God made Man to cope with destiny: <br> Taking the common clay, God moistened it <br> With His red blood; and so for ever lit <br> That sombre grossness with divinity. <br> So Man for ever finds him in the mesh <br> Of clogging earth; and though divine hopes thrill <br> And flush his leaping heart, it faints, for still <br> His dreams are pinioned in the gyves of flesh. <br> Yet ever God's blood in him courses free, <br> And, penetrated with eternal hope, <br> Up Evolution's long, uneven slope <br> Man lifts him from his sodden ancestry! <br> And though his eyes the far goal cannot see, <br> And half the terrors of the dark he knows, <br> Yet with an inward fire his courage glows; <br> He bears the torch of immortality. <br> But Woman from a memory had birth, <br> Into the forest's dignity of shade <br> A sudden sunbeam groped—a soft hand laid <br> In silent benediction on the earth. <br> <br> Then filtered through the green a song forlorn <br> Of some forgotten bird. Lo! in a mist <br> Of love the sunbeam and the echo kissed, <br> And Woman—sunlit memory—was born. <br> So light and melody to her belong— <br> The sunlight in the dying echo blurred! <br> So Woman came—a vision and a word <br> From the unknown—a sunbeam and a song! <br> So ever through the forest of the years <br> Shall Man pursue and still pursue the gleam <br> That wavers and is gone; and through his dream <br> The fainting echo of a song he hears. <br> And when at last his weary feet are led <br> Into the sacred glade, and she stands there, <br> He takes her close—all song and sunlit hair: <br> The gleam has faded and the song has fled! <br> And though with blinded eyes he cannot see, <br> She haunts him like a word that he knows not— <br> That is not quite remembered, nor forgot— <br> Some thought that hovers near a memory. <br> As out from Heaven she leans, on earth there falls <br> The sunbeam of her hair, golden and fine; <br> And drops an echo of a voice divine— <br> A voice that ever vainly calls and calls! <br> <br> And though she spill a splendour and a fire <br> Upon the dark, her glory is unknown; <br> Behind the screen of self she dwells alone <br> She cannot come as close as her desire. <br> So ever like a pale moon drowned in mist <br> Her face is vague—a barrier intervenes; <br> And ever from her loneliness she leans, <br> With waiting eyes, all-wistful to be kissed!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Arthur+Henry+Adams">Arthur Henry Adams</a><div class=q>
