fishes.
watch you in your crystal sphere,
And wonder if you see and hear
Those shapes and sounds that stir the wild.
Conjecture OF world outside;
In your pent lives, as we in ours,
Have you surmses dim OF powers,
OF presences obscurely shown,
OF lives riddle TO your own,
Just on the senses outer verge,
Where sense-nerves into soul-nerves merge,
Where we conspire our own deceit
Confederate in deft Fancy's feat
And the fooled brain befools the eyes
With pageants woven of its own lies!
But are they liesf Why more than those
Phantoms that startle your repose,
Half seen, half heard, then fit away,
And leave you your prose bounded dayf
The things We see as shadowsI
Know to be substance; tell me why
My visions, like those haunting you,
May not be as substantial too.
Alas, who ever answer heard
From fish, and dream fish, toot Absurd
Your consciousness half divine,
But you are wholly deaf 10 mine.
Go. dismiss you; ye have done
All that We could; our silk is spun:
Dive back into the deep OF dreams.
Where what is real is what seems!
Yet shall fancy till my grave
Your lives TO mine a lesson gave;
II lesson none, an image, then,
Impeaching sefconceit in men
Who put their confidence alone
In what they call the Seen and known.
How seen! How known! AS through your glass
Our wavering apparitions pass
Perplexingly, then subtly wrought
To some quite other thing by thought.
Here shall my resolution be;
The shadow OF the mystery
Is haply wholesomer for eyes
That cheat US to be overwise,
And am happy in my right
To love Gods darkness as His light.
