Sida 33 - Sound needed none, Nor any voice of joy ; his spirit drank The spectacle : sensation, soul, and form All melted into him ; they swallowed up His animal being ; in them did he live, And by them did he live ; they were his life. In such access of mind, in such high hour Of visitation from the living God, Thought was not ; in enjoyment it expired.

Like power abides In man's celestial spirit; virtue thus Sets forth and magnifies herself ; thus feeds A calm, a beautiful, and silent fire, From the...
Sida 17 - Recluse ; as having for its principal subject the sensations and opinions of a poet living in retirement.
