from Mind Flying Afar
What a moment of strange dreaming! Quickly
All my vision girdled earth, and showed me
Temples in far India, tombs in Persia,
Down the Appian Way; and over Florence,
Home of Dante, wandering-place of Browning.
And how strange, how prying was this vision! –
For the coffin of old Landor opened;
Showed me what was left of that imperious
Proud and lonely singer of stern beauty.
There he lay, gone down to bits of nothing –
Just a few stray hairs, a piece of shoulder;
Nothing else of him who wrote these verses:
"Proud word you never spoke, but in some future
Day you shall not keep from speaking these words –
Over my open volume you will linger;
You will say in reading: 'This man loved me.' "
– Edgar Lee Masters (1924)
