from The Romance of the Lily
As a buried soul awaking
From the cycle of its sleep,
Panic-struck and sad doth lie
Beneath its mind's dim canopy,
And marks the stars of memory breaking
From 'neath oblivion's ebbing deep,
While clouds of doubt bewilder the true sky –
So in the hieroglyphic portal
Of his dreams sate Balthazar,
Awake amidst his slumbering senses,
And felt as feels man's ghost immortal,
Whom the corpse's earthen fences
From his vast existence bar.
– Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1825)
