In Him there is no anger.
His irony is eloquent.
His ardor is suppliant.
In Him there is no anger.
His might is gentle, and His awefulness
Strange in that it overpowereth
By silence, and conquers through awe.
Yet no man may accuse Him of violence.
He is the rugged cliff, serenely,
Forever and forever announced,
And man the tossing sea, forever, and forever
Torturing himself upon the inevitable;
Forever and forever lashing;
Forever and forever opposing-
Forever and forever-man!
(Patience Worth)
