Collected Poems

CWSA.- Volume 2

Part Seven. Pondicherry
Incomplete Poems from Manuscripts, c. 1927 – 1947

I made danger my helper

 

I made danger my helper and chose pain for thy black anvil my strength hammering to sheen,

And have reckoned the snare and the pit as nought for the hope of one lonely ray;

I turned evil into good, drew out of grief force and returned love to the hate in men:

I have dared the abyss, I have climbed the night, I have cloven the perfect Way.
