The thunderbolts were imprisoned in crucibled crystalline ore,
And locked in the laughing ocean, and shut in the shining shore,
And lulled in the light of evening, and hushed in gentle grain
And unimperiled lilies impearled with quiet rain.
A world of woven lightning, incredible, unguessed,
Where we saw an Easter lily, and Raphael saw the rest.
—The Ballad of Ryerson.
