We carefully studied the gargoyles round the roof, and, in spite of defacements, made out most of them here a grinning demon with a struggling human being in its clutch there an odd beast, part human, part pig, clothed in a kind of jacket, playing a harp dozens of comic, hideous, heterogeneous figures in various attitudes and travesties.
Verily a fine and moving poem, in any case, but there are two ways of taking it, both useful. One is the monistic way, the mystical way of pure cosmic emotion. The glories and grandeurs, they are yours absolutely, even in the midst of your defacements. Whatever may happen to you, whatever you may appear to be, inwardly you are safe.
