"But it is in his poems that Dr. S_____ most vividly expresses the
vitality of his realization of the Universal Life. The remarkable scope
of his vision, the fertile yield of past centuries to his
condensingly-interpretative thought, and the mighty swing of his
fragrant censer of realization of essence combine to produce a picture
in which all the past and the present display their dominant notes and
colours in a harmony so glorious as to open forth to us a dazzling
glimpse of the onward coming future. The superb melody of the ages as
sung on earth by the characteristic events of the evolutionary progress
of humanity follows a rhythm which, once perceived, is entrancing and
illuminating beyond compare; and it is much of this that Dr. S_____ has
put into the most prominent of his poems. He grasps and holds universal
things before us for interpretation as they may be seen when partially
expressed in transient periods, movements and thoughts of human beings
on our earth; and through it all rings prophetically the clarion cry of
man's inevitable and glorious destiny." (1902) (link)
