    The senses are the ministers of love, The senses are the oracles of truth, The senses the interpreters of law, The senses the discoverers of fact; They hold their court in beauty and in joy On earth and in the spheres where Angels dwell. And through the senses God reveals Himself And through the senses earth is taught from heaven. Born from the darkest age Of superstition is that ancient creed That matter is the enemy of good, Accursed and hateful to the Infinite ; For every atom is a living thought. Dropped from the meditations of a God, Its every essence an immortal love Of the incarnate Deity ; and all The inmost pulses of material things Are mediums for the pulses of His will.
