Those shadowy recollections,

Which, be they what they may, 150

Are yet the fountain light of all our day,

Are yet a master light of all our seeing;

Uphold us, cherish, and have power to make[331]

Our noisy years seem moments in the being

Of the eternal Silence: truths that wake, 155

To perish never;

Which neither listlessness, nor mad endeavour,

Nor Man nor Boy,
