“The Night” by Henry Vaughan<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

…<\/div>\n
\u00a0There is in God, some say,<\/div>\n
A deep but dazzling darkness, as men here<\/div>\n
Say it is late and dusky, because they<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0See not all clear.<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 O for that night! where I in Him<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 Might live invisible and dim!<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Translation:<\/p>\n

Truth is the Night of Power,<\/h5>\n
hidden amid the other nights<\/h5>\n
so the soul may try each one.<\/h5>\n
Not all nights are the Night of Power,<\/h5>\n
yet all nights aren\u2019t empty of it either.<\/h5>\n

The Rose Garden of Mystery<\/em> (verses 122-130)<\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n
Reason\u2019s light applied to\u00a0the Essence of Lights<\/h6>\n
is like the eye of the head looking at\u00a0the brilliance of the Sun<\/h6>\n
when the object seen is very close to the eye<\/h6>\n
The eye is darkened so that it cannot see it<\/h6>\n
This blackness, if you know it, is the very light of Being<\/h6>\n
in the land of darkness is the fountain of life<\/h6>\n
Since the darkness destroys the light of vision<\/h6>\n
Give up loooking, for this is no place for looking<\/h6>\n
What connection has dust with the pure world?<\/h6>\n
Its perception is the inability to perceive perception<\/h6>\n
\u2026<\/h6>\n
What shall I say?\u00a0since this saying is fine,<\/h6>\n
\u201cA bright night in the midst of a dark day\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n
In this place of witnessing,\u00a0which is the light of manifestation<\/h6>\n
\u00a0I have much to say, but silence is best.<\/h6>\n
