“I travelled among unknown menin lands beyond the sea . . .”

“Hence in a season of calm weather, Though inland far we be, Our souls have sight of that immortal sea which brought us hither, Can in a moment travel thither, And see the children sport upon the shore, And hear the mighty waters rolling evermore.”

“In sleep I heard the northern gleams;The stars they were among my dreams;In sleep did I behold the skies”

“For oft, when on my couch I lie in vacant or in pensive mood they flash upon that inward eye which is the bliss of solitude”

“And now I see with eye serene The very pulse of the machine A being breathing thoughtful breath A traveler betwixt life and death The reason firm the temperate will Endurance Foresight Strength and skill”

“A mind forever Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone.”

“Hence, in a season of calm weatherThough inland far we be,Our souls have sight of that immortal sea”
