Became then less obscure, and less remote.

My mind, not yet in union with its thoughts,

Seemed sad and solitary; o'er it swept

A calmness like the soft sun-breeze that floats

Above the wave, that light and languid leapt:

Then high imaginations, restless, past

Into being—various, vivid, vast—

And thought, admixing with the mind's emotion,

Assumed a depth and fervour of devotion,

The semblance and the hope, if not the true
