find in one Of Leigh Hunts papers, in the
Indicator:
"lt is delicious movement certainly,

ing that you sball drop gently to sleep
The good is TO come, not past; the limbs
have been jus, fired enough TO render tho
remaining in one posture delightful; the Ia.
Dor ofthe day is done. A gentle failure
ofthe perceptions comes creeping over;
the spirit Of consciousness disengagcsitsclf
more and more, and with slow and hush
ing degrees, like mother dctaching her

mind seems to have n boImy lid closing
over it like the eye; It's more closing--'is
