Of Consciousness, her awful Mate. The Soul cannot be rid --

Summary

This quote implies that consciousness, with all its complexities and burdens, is an inseparable companion to the human soul. It suggests that one cannot simply escape or hide from consciousness, just as it is impossible to conceal or bury the soul itself. The phrase "the secreting her behind the Eyes of God" highlights the futility of trying to mask or suppress one's consciousness, as it is an innate and unshakeable aspect of our existence that remains forever exposed.
