Themselves are pouring into mine own soul.

I feel myself endowed with strength of soul

In my whole being, and I seem set free

From all the fetters of the world of sense:

My being doth embrace the universe.

Thus do I feel that instant so prolonged

Which I was able to live through, before

That living picture rose before mine eyes.

And now still further backward can I look.

Itself condensing out of cosmic thought
