247 Of prescient Reason; all conclusions else

Are abject, vain, presumptuous, and perverse.

The faith partaking of those holy times,

Life, I repeat, is energy of Love

Divine or human; exercised in pain,

In strife, and tribulation; and ordained,

If so approved and sanctified, to pass,

Through shades and silent rest, to endless joy."
