Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936).  Poetry: A Magazine of Verse.  1912–22.
 
Ecce Homo
By Witter Bynner
 
From “Presences”

BEHOLD the man alive in me,
  Behold the man in you!
If there is God—am I not he,
  Shall I myself undo?
 
I have been waiting long enough.        5
  Old silent gods, good-by!
I wait no more. The way is rough—
  But the god who climbs is I.
