Eva!

Here am I.

Eva!
gpt
O Night (it can be but Night that speaks), I am here!
human
Eva!
gpt
Lord, she cried,
human
I come--a Comforter!
gpt
Lord, come quickly!
human
Lean towards me, Eva. Enter my arms; repose thus.
gpt
Thus I lean, O Invisible but felt! And what art thou?
human
Eva, I have brought a living draught from heaven. Daughter of Man, drink of my cup!
gpt
I drink: it is as if sweetest dew visited my lips in a full current. My arid heart revives; my affliction is lightened; my strait and struggle are gone. And the night changes! the wood, the hill, the moon, the wide sky--all change!
human
All change, and for ever. I take from thy vision darkness; I loosen from thy faculties fetters! I level in thy path obstacles; I with my presence fill vacancy. I claim as mine the lost atom of life. I take to myself the spark of soul--burning heretofore forgotten!
gpt
O take me! O claim me! This is a god.
human
This is a son of God--one who feels himself in the portion of life that stirs you. He is suffered to reclaim his own, and so to foster and aid that it shall not perish hopeless.
gpt
A son of God! Am I indeed chosen?
human
Thou only in this land. I saw thee that thou wert fair; I knew thee that thou wert mine. To me it is given to rescue, to sustain, to cherish mine own. Acknowledge in me that Seraph on earth named Genius.
gpt
My glorious Bridegroom! true Dayspring from on high! All I would have at last I possess. I receive a revelation. The dark hint, the obscure whisper, which have haunted me from childhood, are interpreted. Thou art He I sought. Godborn, take me, thy bride!
human
Unhumbled, I can take what is mine. Did I not give from the altar the very flame which lit Eva's being? Come again into the heaven whence thou wert sent.
