Excerpt from Legends and Tales in Prose and VerseIs compassed in His glance, at His right hand Life stands, and at His left hand standeth Death.LL Lo, the divine idea of making man Had spread abroad among the heavenly hosts, And all at once before the immortal throne Pressed troops of angels and of seraphim, With minds opposed, and contradicting cries Fulfil, Great Father, Thine exalted thought! Create and give unto the earth her king! Cease, cease, Almighty God! Create no more! And suddenly upon the heavenly sphere Deep silence fell, before the immortal throne The angel Mercy knelt, and thus he spoke: Fulfil, Great Father, Thine exalted thought! Create the likeness of Thyself on earth. In this new creature I will breathe the spirit Of a divine compassion, he Shall be Thy fairest image in the universe.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
