Your Self: from Plotinus' 'Enneads' 6.3
Seeing yourself - at last – so beautiful:
cease, at last, that vision to deny!
What then, to see in your so glorious self?
What qualities shine out upon the world?
Loftiness of spirit; righteousness
of life; the purity of discipline;
majestic face of courage; gravity;
fearless, tranquil, passionless modesty—
and shining down forever on all this:
that glorious light in all things known and seen;
that watches even, its own watchfulness;
your self as all things, ever known to be.
And now you are Yourself: a blazing Sun;
glorious with the radiance that is One.
