This life's dim windows of the soulDistorts the heavens from pole to poleAnd leads you to believe a lieWhen you see with, not through, the eye.

Summary

This quote suggests that the limited perception and understanding of human beings can distort their view of reality. The "dim windows of the soul" allude to our narrow perspective, which hinders us from truly grasping the vastness of the world. The line "leads you to believe a lie" implies that we often mistake our limited perception for the ultimate truth, failing to see beyond what is immediately apparent. It encourages us to not just rely on our eyes, but to see beyond the superficial and perceive the deeper truths that lie beneath the surface.

And as I played, a child came thro' the gate, A boy who looked at me without a word, As tho' he saw stretch far behind my head Long lines of radiant angels, row on row. That day we spoke a little, timidly, And after that I never heard the voice That sang so many songs for love of me.
