<h2><SPAN name="page166"></SPAN><span class="pagenum"></span>THE WAY</h2>
<p class="poetry">Between the finite and the infinite<br/>
The missing link of Love has left a void.<br/>
Supply the link, and earth with Heaven will join<br/>
In one continued chain of endless life.</p>
<p class="poetry">Hell is wherever Love is not, and Heaven<br/>
Is Love’s location. No dogmatic creed,<br/>
No austere faith based on ignoble fear<br/>
Can lead thee into realms of joy and peace.<br/>
Unless the humblest creatures on the earth<br/>
Are bettered by thy loving sympathy<br/>
Think not to find a Paradise beyond.</p>
<p class="poetry">There is no sudden entrance into Heaven.<br/>
Slow is the ascent by the path of Love.</p>
