L’Envoi. By Ananda Maitriya. (Allan Bennett)
“Tale that we hold of all fair gifts the best;
Gift of the Law, with Love as thy refrain!” [via]

Consider also:
- “Our Message uttered, now beyond our ken, Out of the East, whence dawns the Light, ’tis sent.”
- “Tell as He told it,—He, the Stainless Lord,—Not as we falter, but in Words of Flame!”
- “In the Love of Romeo and Juliet was no Flaw; but family Feud, which imported nothing to that Love, was its Bane; and the Rashness and Violence of their Revolt against that Repression, slew them.”
- “There is no Eros but Eros, in that none are so hot and wet and fast and strong and deep and piercing and brilliant and subtle and creative and corrosive and tyrannous and subversive as Love.”
- “LOVE is the Omnipotence of the Ideal. By the Ideal the soul is exalted; it becomes greater than Nature, more living than the world, loftier than Science, more immortal than Life.”
For those who might find the language similarity striking, remember, for both L'Envoi and, also especially, The Faith of the Future, Allan Bennett had already published these in 1903.
