Spilled into waste!

III. 2

Be still! Wash out this dull roar from the ear

That fevers Time; be emptied the hot brain

Of clamorous, intricately-teasing toil.

Let spiritual Silence brim again

The mind’s well to a mirror virgin-clear;

All these invented cares smoothe and uncoil.

Contemplate Silence; the wild Silence, ere

Music or word was; waste, unshapen sound;
