But that does not mean that they have been simply
human at any period in the history of this
planet. From the point of view of occult science
no world is a complete undertaking in itself.
Life, the infusion of Divine consciousness into
matter, is a vast coherent phenomenon in Nature,
limitless in all directions. The idea may be
approached by considering its bearing on the
Solar System, itself, as we are enabled now to
realize, a coherent scheme of manifestation, all
its parts inter-related one with another, and as
a whole inter-related with a larger Cosmos.
But the world was not ripe in the year 1826 for
the gift of any detailed information concerning
the actual constitution of the Divine Hierarchy,
with its varied levels of dignity and power and
intricate agencies. In 1892, towards the close of
the great poet's life, conditions had changed in
a very remarkable degree. And the flashes of
inspiration to which Tennyson lent himself then
became wonderfully distinct. A few verses to be
found in the volume published in that year, and
entitled By an Evolutionist, are deeply
suggestive. We read as follows:
* * * * * *
Nor roll thy viands on a luscious tongue,
Nor drown thyself with flies in honied wine;
Nor thou be rageful, like a handled bee,
And lose thy life by usage of thy sting;
Nor harm an adder thro' the lust for harm,
Nor make a snail's horn shrink for wantonness;
And more - think well! Do-well will follow thought.

RELICS OF ANTIQUITY
The World left behind you will weep o'er your story,
Will fancy that You lie asleep in the wave;
For you that has proved but the gateway of glory,
The dawn of new life wih the pure and the brave
They bid you farewell, those who mourn your wild daring,
They shudder to think of your cold, lonely bed.
Oh! could we but tell them how well you are faring,
They'd share in your joy now your body is dead.
No graven stone tells where the form that once bound you
Restores to the Earth, from the Earth what it drew;
How little you care, as the scenes now around you
Enchant your new senses with limitless view.
