Identifier

Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
A description of the experience
Robert Frost – from The Poetry of Robert Frost
Poets know a lot.
Never did I fail
Of an answer back
To the zodiac
When in heartless chorus
Aries and Taurus
Gemini and Cancer
Mocked me for an answer.
It was on my tongue
To have up and sung
The initial flight
I can see now might -
Should have been – my own
Into the unknown,
Into the sublime
Of these sands of Time
Time had seen amass
From his hourglass.
