I wonder if ever a song was sung
But the singer's heart sang sweeter!
I wonder if ever a rhyme was sung,
But the thoughts surpassed the meter!
I wonder if ever a sculptor wrought,
Till the stone echoed his ardent thought!
Or if ever a painter in light and shade
The dream of his inmost heart conveyed.
--- J. C. Harney.

That haunting dream of better, forever at our side,
It tints the far horizon, it sparkles on the tide.
The cradle of the present too narrow is for rest.
The feet of the Immortal leap forth to seek the Best.
--- Lucy Larcom.

In my first little book I gave the Law thus, and I have never been able to improve upon it. Let it close this section:

Affirm that which you desire as a present reality.
Live as if it were already manifest.
And you shall find it manifest.

I will here, in view of what has been said. translate it thus:

Create an Ideal.
Live that Ideal; and
You will become that Ideal.

Concentration upon, and consecration to, the Ideal, brings it into manifestation.
