But mono could answer me. Wearied Al length
With wandering 70 and fro, pcrplexed and troubled

Close by whose twisted roots rivulet
Ran laughing, dancing, sparkling In the sun
Anon there came dreamer like myself,
(At least mon called him go, after heard,)
A TALL spare whose face was luminous
With CLEANS OF wild inspiration, yet, wi,ha,
Possessed this dignity Of conscious power,
Cold, calm, yet EARNEST. Bending full on me
His mild, benevolent eyes, the dreamer spoke
Behold p he said, s.behold the lnystsry, AL
The key whereof thou seek 81 In vain to lind
In vague distractions of false philosophy,
In luminous vapors which ende your grasp,
Is shown you in sach atom Of the earth fIt

The likeness of its grosser brother;
They co exist, yet they separate,
Tho still they seem but one so mixed their state.
Even 30, within thy visible body
There is another, but moro delicate, t
or fine and rare organization.
Thy true self in tho likeness Of thy Cod
And even the chemists art shall take
The airy river from its grosser prison,
And set 1t free To rise above the earth,
Even shall Doath, greater alchemist,
Soon purge thy spiritual man, and get
Thee free TO Join thy Maker In the SKIES
So spoke the dreamer, wlAie his luminous face
Grew brighter still, then faded from my sight
Thcn awoke, and 10 It was dream A
Perchance-pcrchancc-a REvEAroN too.
