And perishes among the dust we tread? Shalt thou not teach me, in that calmer

And I said ,,She is warmer than Dian:
She rolls through an ether of sighs
She revels in a region of sighs:
She has seen that the tears are not dry on

These cheeks, where the worm never dies,
And has come past the stars of the Lion
To point us the path to the skies
To the Lethean peace of the skies
Come up, in despite of the Lion,

To shine on us with her bright eyes Come up through the lair of the Lion,. With love in her luminous eyes."

I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thulé

From a wild, weird clime that lieth, sublime,

Out of space out of time.

Bottomless vales and boundless floods,
And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods,
With forms that no man can discover
For the dews that drip all over;
Mountains toppling evermore
Into seas without a shore;
Seas that restlessly aspire,
Surging, unto skies of fire;
Lakes that endlessly outspread
Their lone waters lone and dead
Their still waters still and chilly
With the snows of the lolling lily.
