Chapter 121:
The Song of the Huntsman
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. HAPPY is the man not too watchful over circumstance! Happier is he who maketh progress through his errors.
2. Convention, I tell you, is the robber of desire; when all are gathered together, who shall be missing from among the watchers?
3. I say unto you, I have heard your hearts; they cry bitterly for light.
4. Is it not true that they have likewise cried for desire when desire was not of merit, yet did desire not come with circumstance?
5. When can ye say truthfully that desire came unto you and enlightenment was delayed?
6. Pity him who maketh a tryst with himself saying, I will be one of those who seek riches first and the kingdom of heaven as aftermath.
7. Pity him who saith, I would seek my brother after myself, for am I not greater to myself than my brother who is son of my father's flesh, not of mine own?
8. Thereat shall greater calamity befall, for he who saith, My brother is less than myself, courteth that calamity in circumstance wherein his brother shall say, Behold, I too care for myself, not for thee, O son of my father's flesh, not of mine own.
9. What profit shall come unto a man who looketh upon the world and findeth it fair, yet maketh no move to preserve its fairness or add to its beauty?
10. These things are potent: that man shall eschew selfishness, learn selflessness; make no mock of him who saith: Let us be glad for the sake of our brethren.
11. Give unto him who asketh of you and turn no ear from him who would have of you; verily the mountains rise up before him who would make his eschewments in the souls of his brethren.
12. Happy is he who beholdeth no ill event in circumstance; happy is he who giveth greetings unto beauty and riseth not up to dispute with the scornful.
13. He is like unto a river of pure water that runneth through green pastures; he maketh all things to laugh by the aspect of his countenance.
14. Great things are designed, great things are executed, great things are made potent, but the greatest of things are made beauteous by the hands of him who runneth like the river toward the sea, unmindful of its course except that it be forward.
15. Harken, my beloved! . . . over the hills is the song of the Huntsman; what cometh he hunting, creatures that fear him, that run from his murdering?
16. Nay, nay, beloved! He hunteth the pure in heart who seek to do good.
17. Hunteth he long in the mornings of life, hunteth he until its even when the stars appear; still doth he pursue the goodness in men's hearts, hunting, hunting, the Huntsman of the Years!
18. I tell you a story that hath in it beauty: it goeth to the nations and they are ennobled;
19. I tell you a story that hath richness of vision: it goeth to the nations and their sight is made clear;
20. I tell you a story that hath in it valor: it goeth afar and men are made glorious;
21. I tell you a story that hath in it wisdom: it ringeth to eternity and men are cast upward;
22. Hear ye the story. Hear ye the song.
23. There are persons who have said that all is not beauty. What have they to do with those who give beauty as a birthright? What concernments have they with those who give beauty?
24. I tell you that man hath reached the vantage point; he beholdeth beauty for himself.
25. Harken, harken! I have brought you a promise, I have wrought you a song, I have welled you an anthem, and your ears have rung with music; I have spoken in soberer note and ye have heard its wisdom; behold I have spoken in joyous note and ye have heard its beauty.
26. Lest worldly men make mock of that which is eternal, the Fairer One shall come and play upon his lyre; peace shall He play in chords of rare melody. Let us be humble, let us be contrite.
27. What profiteth a man if oceans league against him? what profiteth a man if seas rise up and smite him? lo, the seas and the mountains bow in their majesty to him who cometh singing a song of thanksgiving.
28. My beloved, I adjure you. . . ye have comfort of each other; take thought to that comfort, bear it no malice; give unto him who asketh of you a thousand times seven, then give once again.
29. Only to the pure in heart cometh the prophet, singing, hunting, declaring in his wisdom, All is light transcendent.
30. Hear ye my message: I preach it unto the brethren as having understanding; when the goodly days are come then shall ye say, Bitter are our own revilements that we weighed our desires against our ideals.
31. What is righteous, is righteous; what is error, is error.
32. Make no error, my beloved; be ye joyous unto the end, and all shall be well with you who have Goodness upon your foreheads. . . .
