And then of darkness too:

I had no thought, no feeling—none— 235

Among the stones I stood a stone,

And was, scarce conscious what I wist,

As shrubless crags within the mist;

For all was blank, and bleak, and gray,

It was not night—it was not day, 240

It was not even the dungeon-light,

So hateful to my heavy sight,

But vacancy absorbing space,
