Hallowed for one or hallowed for many.
The consolation is we must not wait

Not yet can the dividing veil rise up
So that we now see as clearly as they.
But the veil acquires a translucency
Allowing a glimpse of uncreated light.
For an instant, eternity flows through.
We behold in them what we shall become.
