Note 1 — Chapter IX · “THE ETYMOLOGY OF GRACE.”
Reading edition
A rather free translation is subjoined. As indicated in the text, the last line is a quotation:—
“In the restless stream of living,
’Mid the storm of deeds,
Move I hither, thither,
Weave I to and fro!
Birth and the Grave
—One limitless ocean!—
A changeful Creation
Glowing with Life,
Thus my task at Time’s tremulous loom I ply,
And weave for God the Garment thou seest Him by.”
