VISION OF THE EGYPTIAN PRIEST.
145
And the lotus-flower out of the fountain was born,—Its azure and silver were fair as the morn:Thereon, softly cradled, lay Horus the Wise—Avenger of Osiris, Child of the skies.
I looked to the East—there had risen a star;I saw the fair gates of Amenthe unbar;I beheld (yet I lived) through the veil of their shrine,Demiurgos and Neith—One and ever Divine.
Their love did constrain me—it drew me above,Through the gates of Amenthe, drawn on by their love;There, prostrate, adoring the Centre of Day,I was numbered with gods—I was holy as they.
