"The dawn of a New Day!" Never an Aryan felt the flare of this electric Fact, Nor any, or priest at his worship or earth-toiler swarming the land, Till Zarathustra discovered Ahura Mazda, Till Buddha discovered himself, the Thou of THAT, BRAHMA, Till the CHRIST-MIND assumed IT to be the I AM THAT I AM.
(The flare—the ghostly breath of the long-coming Dawn— Had passed o'er the Nature-Face, had kissed the swart Human, Ages and ages, with never a conscious start In the Man-Soul, till these had upsprung as if gods.— For, whosoever kens the flare, kens THAT and knows the ONE ONLY WHO IS).
So, thrice have men ventured the Word: "Comes now a full Day that is New!"
Since these giant Men-Types, what times of the Small Have opened and set on poor mouthings of Truth! What Night for a thousand years twice told! With Fear, and the fierce Stars, and no Sun in the Void! Shadows—and Fear—and Death!
A fourth time man whispers: "The Dawn!" We LIVE! And behold a New Day!" Does the Flare of its Flood-Tide winds stir YOU? Does the light of its splendoring Sun thrill YOU? Does the marvelous Life of it stimulate YOU To a birth of the self and the kingship of THAT?
YOU live! The New Day is for each: For the hitherto Common Man, slave, For the Women, no longer a Thing, For the Child, now escaped from the animal lair. Dawn's here! (With Opportunity leading "captivity captive," (And the stars urging on to achievement, (And the Sun, breeding life triumphant); With heart courageous and faith almighty To fare forth and possess the whole world! Soul of YOU, awaken! The New Day is yours.
