Flung on the shafted waterfalls that wake

The night’s blue slumber in a shadowy lake.***

To body forth my fantasies, and show

Communicable mystery, I would find,

In adamantine darkness of the earth,

Metals untouched of any sun; and bring

Black azures of the nether sea to birth—

Or fetch the secret, splendid leaves, and blind,

Blue lilies of an Atlantean spring.
