Mumble only jargon of dotage
My body is too frail for its moods
N
Nature seemed to revel in unwonted contrasts [unwonted = unusual]
New ambitions pressed upon his fancy
New dreams began to take wing in his imagination
Night after night the skies were wine-blue and bubbling with stars
Night passes lightly in the open world, with its stars and dews and perfumes
Nights of fathomless blackness
No mark of trick or artifice
