| Summary | "Elias: An Epic of the Ages" by Orson F. Whitney is a poetic narrative written in the early 20th century. This epic work aspires to explore the historical, doctrinal, and prophetic themes associated with what the world terms "Mormonism." Centered on dramatic themes of spirituality and existential inquiry, it aims to present a grand view of progress through the ages, as conveyed by various characters and divine figures. At the start of this literary journey, the author outlines his intent and purpose through a foreword, explaining the poem's structure and its significance within the context of Mormon beliefs. The opening section features an introspective narrator who reminisces about their youthful aspirations for fame, love, and glory, ultimately awakening to a more profound truth about existence and their relationship with the divine. This transformation leads to a deeper understanding of beauty, love, and the nature of greatness, suggesting that true worth is independent of earthly accolades or power. The narrative is imbued with thoughts on humanity's progress and the divine plan at play throughout history. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
