Choruses From the Rock
O Light Invisible, we praise
Thee!
Too bright for mortal vision...
We thank Thee for the lights that we have kindled,
the light of altar and of sanctuary:
small lights of those who meditate at midnight
and lights directed through the colored panes of windows
and Light reflected from the polished stone
the gilden carven wood, the colored fresco.
Our gaze is submarine, our eyes look upward
and see the light that fractures through unquiet water.
We see the light but see not whence it comes.
O Light Invisible, we glorify Thee!
- TS Eliot
