    "Hermes Trismegistus"

    Was he the only one or many, merging
    Name and fame in one,
    Like a stream, to which, converging
    Many streamlets run?

    Who shall call his dreams fallacious?
    Who has searched or sought
    All the unexplored and spacious
    Universe of thought?

    Who in his own skill confiding
    Shall with rule and line
    Mark the border-land dividing
    Human and divine?

    Trismegistus! Thrice times greatest!
    How thy name sublime
    Has descended to this latest
    Progeny of time!

    --Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

    But how refreshing to kneel down next to this stream knees bent as in worship, scoop from it with hands cupped as in prayer, and sup with lips pursed as in Holy Communion.
