from Lucy

A slumber did my spirit seal;
        I had no human fears:
She seemed a thing that could not feel
        The touch of earthly years.

No motion has she now, no force;
        She neither hears nor sees;
Rolled round in earth's diurnal course,
        With rocks, and stones, and trees.

– William Wordsworth (1798)
