One gleam of light illumining,
One ray of Truth, discerned
In mortals' dark room of ignorance,
Releases knowledge in a small and busy flame,
Until at last the fire springs into being
And burns away the litter and the heap,
Leaving the walls upright and unbuckled,
Resting upon conclusions absolute and deep.
