V.
That was my sanity. Brought face to face
Suddenly with the infinite, I feared.
My brain snapped, broke ; white oarage-wings appeared
On stronger shoulders set, a carapace,
A chariot. I did essay that wierd
Unmeasured dome,
Found in its balance, peace ; found in its silence, home.
VI.
That was my madness. On bright plumage poised
I soared, I hovered in the infinite ;
Nothing was everything ; the day was night,
Dark and deep light together, that rejoiced
In their strange wedlock. Marvellously white
All rainbows kissed
Into one sphere that stood, a circumambient mist.
