Oh who can say

Where lies the boundary? What solid things

That daily mock our senses, shall dissolve

Before the might within, while shadowy forms

Freeze into stark reality, defying

The force and will of man. These forms I see,

They may go with me through eternity,

And bless or curse with ceaseless company,

While yonder man, that I met yesternight,

Where is he now? He passed before my eyes,
