Journey in the Light



But He beholds the light, and whence it flows,
    He sees it in his joy;
The Youth, who daily farther from the east
    Must travel, still is Nature's Priest,
    And by the vision splendid
    Is on his way attended;
At length the Man perceives it die away,
And fade into the light of common day.

-William Wordsworth (1770-1850),
Ode: Intimations of Immortality from
Recollections of Early Childhood
