George William Russell - Duality lyrics

From me spring good and evil. WHO gave thee such a ruby flaming heart And such a pure cold spirit? Side by side I know these must eternally abide In intimate war, and each to each impart Life from its pain, in every joy a dart To wound with grief or d**h the self allied. Red life within the spirit crucified, The eyes eternal pity thee: thou art Fated with d**hless powers at war to be, Not less the martyr of the world than he Whose thorn-crowned brow usurps the due of tears We would pay to thee, ever ruddy life, Whose pa**ionate peace is still to be at strife, O'erthrown but in the unconflicting spheres.
