Ella Wheeler Wilcox - On Seeing The Diabutsu--At
Work rating: Low

Long have I searched, Cathedral shrine, and hall,
To find a symbol, from the hand of art,
That gave the full expression (not a part)
Of that ecstatic peace which follows all
Life`s pain and passion. Strange it should befall
This outer emblem of the inner heart
Was waiting far beyond the great world`s mart—
Immortal answer, to the mortal call.


Unknown the artist, vaguely known his creed:
But the bronze wonder of his work sufficed
To lift me to the heights his faith had trod.
For one rich moment, opulent indeed,
I walked with Krishna, Buddha, and the Christ,
And felt the full serenity of God.
