The motions change—the colors go and come.

[XLII.]

An odor, strange though not offensive, spread

About him, as he near and nearer drew;

But, piercing, keen, it filled our Founder’s head,

Involved his brain, and passed his senses through;

Entranced he sate, while round him rose and played

Celestial hues, and music strange and new;—

The heavens, the earth, to various radiance turned,

And in a maze of mingling colors burned.
