99. Surrender then surrender now

```

When I surrendered

To the yoke of public opinion,

My life-forest

Teemed with fear, doubt and despair.

An endless series

Of misfortunes and serpentine windings

Imprisoned my soul.

I have now surrendered

To the Love-Will of my Inner Pilot.

Under the Vault of Heaven

My earthly existence now breathes.

I live to proclaim

My Beauty’s descent and Duty’s ascent.
