Savitri Book 2 Canto 12 - The Heavens of the Ideal
At each pace of the journey marvellous A new degree of wonder and of bliss, A new rung formed in Being’s mighty stair, A great wide step trembling with jewelled fire As if a burning spirit quivered there Upholding with his flame the immortal hope, ||73.5||
On one side glimmered hue on floating hue, In a glory and surprise of the seized soul And a tremulous rapture of the heart’s insight And the spontaneous bliss that beauty gives, The lovely kingdoms of the deathless Rose. ||73.7||
On the other side of the eternal stairs The mighty kingdoms of the deathless Flame Aspired to reach the Being’s absolutes. ||73.22|| Out of the sorrow and darkness of the world, Out of the depths where life and thought are tombed, Lonely mounts up to heaven the deathless Flame. ||73.23||
He through the Ideal’s kingdoms moved at will... ||73.35|| A glorious shining Angel of the Way Presented to the seeking of the soul The sweetness and the might of an idea, Each deemed Truth’s intimate fount and summit force, The heart of the meaning of the universe, Perfection’s key, passport to Paradise. ||73.39||
