    when did ignorance ever foreknow what would reward her search ? A Power known in action, and in action only, this do our guides announce to us: a Power whose self they have sought and find it not, are sure they never will find.—Would to God they could say the same of man. Is nature selfless ? Is this what they tell us ? They have found the secret of the universe; our secret. It is enough. There is the passion which is rocked in perfect peace ; the freedom which no law restrains, yet which fulfils all law; the order which unreason cannot break. O image of Divinity, type and model of all perfectness, a worthy interpreter you have found at last. Your riddle has been guessed, your lesson read, your promise enrolled clear within our hearts. Man shall follow in your footsteps, shall attain your joy : he shall cast out the self. London, November, 1870.
