Under the kind Examiners’[11] direction

I only write about them in connection

With benefits which the Electric Light

Confers on us; especially at night.

These are my theme, of these my song shall rise.

My lofty head shall swell to strike the skies,[12]

And tears of hopeless love bedew the maiden’s eyes.

Second Invocation to the Muse

Descend, O Muse, from thy divine abode,
