II

We thrill too strangely at the master's touch;

We shrink too sadly from the larger self

Which for its own completeness agitates

And undetermines us; we do not feel --

We dare not feel it yet -- the splendid shame

Of uncreated failure; we forget,

The while we groan, that God's accomplishment

Is always and unfailingly at hand.
