Seite 149 - Ocean and earth, the solid frame of earth And ocean's liquid mass, in gladness lay Beneath him : — Far and wide the clouds were touched, And in their silent faces could he read Unutterable love. Sound needed none, Nor any voice of joy ; his spirit drank The spectacle : sensation, soul, and form All melted into him ; they swallowed up His animal being ; in them did he live, And by them did he live ; they were his life.
