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