The complete works of Ralph Waldo Emerson: Miscellanies [Vol. 11]

IN many forms we try To utter God's infinity, But the Boundless hath no form, And the Universal Friend Doth as far transcend An angel as a worm.
The great Idea baffles wit, Language falters under it, It leaves the learned in the lurch; Nor art, nor power, nor toil can find The measure of the eternal Mind, Nor hymn nor prayer nor church.
