Background
A description of the experience
Robert Stephen Hawker – Aishah Schechinah
A shape like folded wing, embodied air
Yet wreathed with flesh and warm
All that of heaven is feminine and fair
Moulded in visible form
She stood, the Lady Schechinah of earth
A chancel for the sky
Where woke, to breath and beauty, God's own birth,
For men to see him by
Round her, too pure to mingle with the day,
Light, that was life, abode;
Folded within her fibred meekly lay
The link of boundless God
So linked, so blent, that when with pulse fulfilled
Moved but that infant hand
Far, far, away, His conscious Godhead thrilled
And stars might understand
