For Him I Sing.

Part of the cluster INSCRIPTIONS.

FOR HIM I SING.

FOR him I sing, I raise the Present on the Past, (As some perennial tree, out of its roots, the present on  
 the past:) With time and space I him dilate—and fuse the im- 
 mortal laws, To make himself, by them, the law unto himself.
