4 Ix
White Self-Existing Wizard
Thou art liquid Glass arising –
Animated prism’d Rain
I am warm and flaming Fire
Burning in your watery Bower –
In tandem we do represent
Extremes of Nature
Opposites in Temperament –
A Union most phenomenal
This wondrous Fount and Flame –
The Alchemy of Godhead –
Hippocrene* by name.
*Hippocrene: the fountain (fountain of the horse) on Mount
Helicon, sacred to the Muses, engendered by a stroke of Pegasus’ hoof; source
of poetic inspiration.
