27. God's eternal Choice⁸⁷⁷

Earth-grief
    burnt his
    body’s frame.

Earth-jealousy
    burnt his
    life-fame.

Earth-ignorance
    burnt his
    God-Vision.

Yet his soul
    loves earth,
    treasures earth,
For earth is
    God’s eternal Choice,
    His ultimate Voice.

877. It seems likely first edition text had mistype with ‘art’ for ‘earth’ on line 11,12,13. Original text was: | Yet his soul loves art, treasures art, | For art is God’s eternal Choice, His ultimate Voice.↩
