Something Like the Sun

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

English version by John White
Original Language German

The eye must be something like the sun,
Otherwise no sunlight could be seen;
God's own power must be inside us,
How else could Godly things delight us?

-- from Art & Wonder: An Illustrated Anthology of Visionary Poetry, Edited by Kate Farrell
