+ "corroboration of what he had latently resolved to see." | ||

+ "we think but half-formed thoughts, and when as men we try to remember, we are\n" | ||
+ "dulled and prosaic with the poison of life. But some of us awake in the night\n" | ||
+ "with strange phantasms of enchanted hills and gardens, of fountains that sing\n" | ||
+ "in the sun, of golden cliffs overhanging murmuring seas, of plains that stretch\n" | ||
+ "down to sleeping cities of bronze and stone, and of shadowy companies of heroes\n" | ||
+ "that ride caparisoned white horses along the edges of thick forests; and then\n" | ||
+ "we know that we have looked back through the ivory gates into that world of\n" | ||
+ "wonder which was ours before we were wise and unhappy." | ||
+ "Instead of the poems I had hoped for, there came only a shuddering blackness\n" | ||
+ "and ineffable loneliness; and I saw at last a fearful truth which no one had\n" | ||
+ "ever dared to breathe before — the unwhisperable secret of secrets — The fact\n" | ||
+ "that this city of stone and stridor is not a sentient perpetuation of Old New\n" | ||
+ "York as London is of Old London and Paris of Old Paris, but that it is in fact\n" | ||
+ "quite dead, its sprawling body imperfectly embalmed and infested with queer\n" | ||
+ "animate things which have nothing to do with it as it was in life." | ||
+ "The ocean ate the last of the land and poured into the smoking gulf, thereby\n" | ||
+ "giving up all it had ever conquered. From the new-flooded lands it flowed\n" | ||
+ "again, uncovering death and decay; and from its ancient and immemorial bed it\n" | ||
+ "trickled loathsomely, uncovering nighted secrets of the years when Time was\n" | ||
+ "young and the gods unborn. Above the waves rose weedy remembered spires. The\n" | ||
+ "moon laid pale lilies of light on dead London, and Paris stood up from its damp\n" | ||
+ "grave to be sanctified with star-dust. Then rose spires and monoliths that were\n" | ||
+ "weedy but not remembered; terrible spires and monoliths of lands that men never\n" | ||
+ "knew were lands..." | ||
+ "There was a night when winds from unknown spaces whirled us irresistibly into\n" | ||
+ "limitless vacuum beyond all thought and entity. Perceptions of the most\n" | ||
+ "maddeningly untransmissible sort thronged upon us; perceptions of infinity\n" | ||
+ "which at the time convulsed us with joy, yet which are now partly lost to my\n" | ||
+ "memory and partly incapable of presentation to others." | ||
