This world is not conclusion

---

This world is not conclusion;

   A sequel stands beyond,

Invisible, as music,

   But positive, as sound.

It beckons and it baffles;

   Philosophies don’t know,

And through a riddle, at the last,

   Sagacity must go.

To guess it puzzles scholars;

   To gain it, men have shown

Contempt of generations,

   And crucifixion known.
