Passage I
"Behold the portals of darkness are open
and the shadows of the dead hunt over the earth..."
Neither scruples nor doubts come now to me,
Nor Hell nor Devil can longer affright me.
O full and splendid Moon, whom I
Have, from this desk, seen climb the sky
So many a midnight, - would thy glow
For the last time beheld my woe!
Ever thine eye, most mournful friend,
O'er books and papers saw me bend;
But would that I, on mountains grand,
Amid thy blessed light could stand,
With spirits through mountain-caverns hover,
Float in thy twilight the meadows over,
And, freed from the fumes of lore that swathe me,
To health in thy dewy fountains bathe me!...

Passage III
To the High Master will I praise you duly;
But whould you test yourselves as masters fully,
Then hasten to that smithy eerie,
Where the hidden-people that never wake,
Wear the sparks from ore and moonstone
While there you prate and flatter,
A fire to shine, and shoot, and scatter,
As in the highest sense 't is known.
A distant lightning, quivering far-lights,
And falling, quick as wink, of highest star-lights.
May happen any winter night;
but lightning, loose among the tangled bushes,
And stars that hiss and fizzle in the rushes...

Passage IIII
As at my feet abysses cloven
Rest on abysses deep below;
As thousand severed streams are woven
To foamy floods that plunging go;
As, up by self-impulsion driven,
The tree its weight sustains in air,
Around me sounds a savage roaring,
As rocks and forests heaved and swayed,
Yet plunges, bounteous in its pouring,
The wealth of waters down below,
Appointed, then, the vales to brighten;
The bolt, that flamming struck and burst,
The atmosphere to cleanse and lighten,
Which pestilence in its bosom nursed,
Lover's heralds both, the powers proclaiming,
Which, aye creative, us infold.
May then, whithin my bosom flaming,
Inspire the mind, confused and cold...
