Poem by Mr. Eugène Nus.

The following stanzas are taken from the work The New Dogmas, n by Mr. Eugène Nus. Although it is not a mediumistic work, they will certainly thank us for its reproduction because of the thoughts expressed there so gracefully. Under the title The Great Mysteries, n the same author recently published another remarkable work, to which we shall refer and in which are found all the fundamental principles of the Spiritist Doctrine, as a rational solution. n O beloved dead, whom this earth Sees mingled here among our throng, Show us what mystery you bear: Where do you live, dead loved so long? Globes that shine to people space, Sisters of this earth, stars of the skies, Which of you grants me beyond a place, A destiny of shadow or of glory’s guise? And which of you has received the souls Of those I loved and have now lost? From you a white ray and calm-lit gleams, Upon my dreaming being descend? Bound, then, to the lot of the earth Whether by destiny or its welfare, Are they borne toward what it holds Of justice in the instant of return? Or nearer still, O invisible Souls, Who, being among us, seek to serve us, Preaching concord to feeling beings, Weeping for those who are deaf to hearing? Profound mystery, that of the infinite soul! How long already I seek you in vain. With pale brow life agitates me Without being able to find God’s reason. O dear dead, wherever you may be! Come to me, near or even far;

Your hidden voice I have yielded to too much; And your warmth has warmed my faith. O beloved dead, whom this earth Sees mingled here among our throng, Show us what mystery you bear: Where do you live, dead loved so long? [1]
