"NOW IS THE ACCEPTABLE TIME."

By James Russell Lowell

God bless the present! It is all! It has been Future, and it shall be Past; Awake and live! Thy strength recall, And in one Trinity unite them fast.
Action and Life—lo! Here the key Of all on earth that seemeth dark and wrong; Win this—and with it freely ye May enter that bright realm for which ye long.
Then all these bitter questionings Shall with a full and blessed answer meet. Past worlds, whereof the poet sings, Shall be the earth beneath his snow-white feet. —James Russell Lowell.
