"Elias: An Epic of the Ages" by Orson F. Whitney is a poem from the early 1900s that journeys through Mormon history, teachings, and prophecies. It's a spiritual quest, framed as a grand view of history as revealed through characters and divine beings. Whitney starts by explaining the poem’s meaning within his faith. The story begins with a narrator reflecting on youthful dreams of fame, love, and importance, before realizing a deeper meaning to life and connection to the divine. This realization brings an understanding of beauty, love, and the nature of true greatness, showing that worth is not defined by worldly success. The poem considers humanity’s growth and the divine plan working through time.
