THERE seemed a strangeness in the air, Vermilion light on the land's lean face; I heard a Voice from I knew not where: -- "The Great Adjustment is taking place! "I set thick darkness over you, And fogged you all your years therein; At last I uncloud your view, Which I am weary of holding in. "Men have not heard, men have not seen Since the beginning of the world What earth and heaven mean; But now their curtains shall be furled, "And they shall see what is, ere long, Not through a glass, but face to face; And Right shall disestablish Wrong: The Great Adjustment is taking place." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PICTURE OF LITTLE T.C.
