Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through the Gates Through the Gates. Who shall desire Attainment? Count the cost! To all attainment brings A bitter flavour clings: The gained is lost! Can finite hold the infinite? The sky Be cradled in a lotus? Spirit-greed But proves thy sun a firefly on a weed - The stars are high. Who shall desire Attainment? They who gain Their heart's desire, confess Desires unworthiness - Who seek in vain Alone behold the Vision. Did no hand, Save that of Vengeance, hold The prophet-prince of old From that forbidden Land? Strive - but attain not. Prove thy quest Too great for mortal strength - Thou shalt attain at length That Failure, best! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
