Fragment: Wedded Souls.

Topics: classic

I am as a spirit who has dwelt     Within his heart of hearts, and I have felt     His feelings, and have thought his thoughts, and known     The inmost converse of his soul, the tone     Unheard but in the silence of his blood,     When all the pulses in their multitude     Image the trembling calm of summer seas.     I have unlocked the golden melodies     Of his deep soul, as with a master-key,     And loosened them and bathed myself therein -     Even as an eagle in a thunder-mist     Clothing his wings with lightning.
