Deep in the soul, below pain,

                  below all the distraction of life,

                   is a silence vast and grand-

                    an infinite ocean of calm,

                   which nothing can disturb;

                  nature's own exceeding peace,

                  which passes understanding.    

                     That which we seek

                   with passionate longing,

                       here and there,

                     upward and outward;

                   we find at last within ourselves.

                                       R.M Bucke
