God Quote by Victor B. Neuburg

“Wherefore the current of my soul hath broken The bounds of sensual life, And I am grown a god, a sinewy token Of Pan’s most ardent strife; I am his own; I seem The shadow of his dream, As he is spinning thoughts of form and sense Out of the formless void, stark, cold and dense.” quote by Victor B.
