LOGOS by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL

First Line: WAKE, DROWSY SPIRIT IN THE EAR

Wake, drowsy spirit in the ear,
The voices in that murmuring shell
Echo the Zodiac. You may hear
The planets ringing like a bell.


Your sister spirit in the eyes
Pierced them with its own light, to see
The high-hung lanterns in the skies
Echoing its own infinity.
