To suffer woes which hope thinks infinite,
To forgive wrongs darker than death or night,

Ye ice fall! Ye that from the mountain's brow
Adown enormous ravines slope amain -

And stopped at once amid their maddest plunge¬

Darest thou now O soul,
Walk out with me toward the unknown region,
Where neither ground is for the feet nor any path to follow?
No map there, nor guide,
Nor voice sounding, nor touch of human hand,
Nor face with blooming flesh, nor lips, nor eyes, are in that land.
Till when the ties loosen,
All but the ties eternal, time and space,
Nor darkness, gravitation, sense, nor any bounds boundings us.
Then we burst forth, we float,
In time and space O soul, prepared for them,
Equal, equipt at last, (O joy! O fruit of all!) them to fulfil O soul.
WALT WHITMAN
I know it not O soul,
or dost thou, all is a blank before us,
All waits undreamed of in that region, that inaccessible land.
Solo: Roderick Elms organ
Choral: London Symphony Chorus
Orchestra: London Symphony Orchestra
Conductor: Bryden Thomson
21-22 June 1989
