forsaken – the poet’s nightmare lyrics
when from my fellows to the grove i stray’d,
in solitude and dusk to meditate
on things forbidden, and to pierce the veil
of seeming good and seeming beauteousness
that covers o’er the tragedy of truth.
hither and thither through infinity
of light and darkness, strangely intermix’d;
wherein all ent-ty had consciousness,
without th’ accustom’d outward shape of life.
of these swift circling currents was my soul,
free from the flesh, a true const-tuent part;
nor felt i less myself, for want of form.
then clear’d the mist, and o’er a star-strown scene
divine and measureless, i gaz’d in awe.
alone in sp-ce, i view’d a feeble fleck
of silvern light, marking the narrow ken
which mortals call the boundless universe.
borne on the wings of stark immensity,
a touch of rhythm celestial reach’d my soul;
thrilling me more with horror than with joy.
omnia risus et omnia pulvis et omnia nihil.
