Book Description

Excerpt from Reveries and Other Poems I Sought Me Symbols Of Eternity I Sought me symbols of Eternity: And vasty deeps of heaven yielded glooms And barren space, no furthest star illumes, - Darkness! I sought mid mighty things that be Uncomprehended within bounds: the sea, Plumbless, unshored; aloft the westering light, That plenary stillness, antedating night; And day's long ebb in after-vacancy. Yet even in these no perfect glass I saw For imaging the mystery unblurred; Nor entered into realms of ultimate awe, Till drifting, drifting, wheresoever led In aimless tides of revery I heard Lear's fivefold "Never" o'er Cordelia dead.
