Elias

A young dreamer’s sky turns from pearl and sapphire to fire: thunder shatters his hopes of fame, and he wakes to a truth he had never sought.

In Elias: An Epic of the Ages, Orson F. Whitney turns a spiritual awakening into a sweeping poem, written between 1900 and 1914. Its opening follows a speaker who once longed to sway hearts, win renown, and be remembered; then a voice from beyond the storm challenges his measure of greatness. As the dream of earthly glory falls away, he begins to see love, duty, and human struggle in a light that reaches beyond mortal life. What does it mean to be great—and what might the awakened spirit see that the dreamer could not?
