TRUE. m% SAW in a vision once, our mother-sphereThe world, her fixed foredoomed oval tracing, jjggjgggl Rolling and rolling on and resting never,While like a phantom fell, behind her pacingThe unfurled flag of night, her shadow drearFled as she fled and hung to her forever. Great Heaven ! methought, how strange a doom to share. Would I may never bear Inevitable darkness after me(Darkness endowed with drawings strong, And shadowy hands that cling unendingly), Nor feel that phantom-wings behind me sweep,As she feels night pursuing through the long Illimitable reaches of the vasty deep. God save you, gentlefolks. There was a manWho lay awake at midnight on his bed, 1 A THE DREAMS THAT CAME TRUE. Watching the spiral flame that feeding ran Among the logs upon his hearth, and shedA comfortable glow, both warm and dim,On crimson curtains that encompassed him. Eight stately was his chamber, soft and whiteThe pillow, and his quilt was eider-down. What mattered it
