Excerpt from The Human Brotherhood and a Psalm of Faith Proem Whoe'er thou art whose eye may scan our page, Prepare thyself to wrestle with the truth; And if she throw thee, own the mastery And thenceforth love her ardently, and serve. Be thou a self-appointed censor, if Thou wilt. Apply thy square and compass to Our work; yet know its aim and purpose, and Its architectural order, at the start. We stand upon a promontory and Behold the billows of a world, and fain Would rear a lighthouse, that the nations may Avoid the reefs where countless corpses lie. We copy not the pyramids, nor Greek Nor Gothic forms, but, building for the years To be, with the materials at our hand, Create an order of utility.
