I met a seerA
Passing the hues and objects of the worldB
The fields of art and learning pleasure senseC
To glean eidolonsC
-
Put in thy chants said heD
No more the puzzling hour nor day nor segments parts put inE
Put first before the rest as light for all and entrance song of allF
That of eidolonsC
-
Ever the dim beginningG
Ever the growth the rounding of the circleH
Ever the summit and the merge at last to surely start againI
Eidolons eidolonsC
-
Ever the mutableH
Ever materials changing crumbling re coheringG
Ever the ateliers the factories divineJ
Issuing eidolonsC
-
Lo I or youK
Or woman man or state known or unknownL
We seeming solid wealth strength beauty buildM
But really build eidolonsC
-
The ostent evanescentN
The substance of an artist's mood or savan's studies longG
Or warrior's martyr's hero's toilsC
To fashion his eidolonL
-
Of every human lifeO
The units gather'd posted not a thought emotion deed left outP
The whole or large or small summ'd added upQ
In its eidolonL
-
The old old urgeR
Based on the ancient pinnacles lo newer higher pinnaclesC
From science and the modern still impell'dS
The old old urge eidolonsC
-
The present now and hereA
America's busy teeming intricate whirlT
Of aggregate and segregate for only thence releasingG
To day's eidolonsC
-
These with the pastU
Of vanish'd lands of all the reigns of kings across the seaC
Old conquerors old campaigns old sailors' voyagesC
Joining eidolonsC
-
Densities growth facadesC
Strata of mountains soils rocks giant treesC
Far born far dying living long to leaveV
Eidolons everlastingG
-
Exalte rapt ecstaticG
The visible but their womb of birthW
Of orbic tendencies to shape and shape and shapeX
The mighty earth eidolonL
-
All space all timeY
The stars the terrible perturbations of the sunsC
Swelling collapsing ending serving their longer shorter useC
Fill'd with eidolons onlyC
-
The noiseless myriadsC
The infinite oceans where the rivers emptyC
The separate countless free identities like eyesightZ
The true realities eidolonsC
-
Not this the worldB
Nor these the universes they the universesC
Purport and end ever the permanent life of lifeO
Eidolons eidolonsC
-
Beyond thy lectures learn'd professorA2
Beyond thy telescope or spectroscope observer keen beyond all mathematicsC
Beyond the doctor's surgery anatomy beyond the chemist with his chemistryC
The entities of entities eidolonsC
-
Unfix'd yet fix'dB2
Ever shall be ever have been and areC2
Sweeping the present to the infinite futureA2
Eidolons eidolons eidolonsC
-
The prophet and the bardD2
Shall yet maintain themselves in higher stages yetE2
Shall mediate to the Modern to Democracy interpret yet to themF2
God and eidolonsC
-
And thee my soulG2
Joys ceaseless exercises exaltationsC
Thy yearning amply fed at last prepared to meetH2
Thy mates eidolonsC
-
Thy body permanentN
The body lurking there within thy bodyC
The only purport of the form thou art the real I myselfI2
An image an eidolonL
-
Thy very songs not in thy songsC
No special strains to sing none for itselfI2
But from the whole resulting rising at last and floatingG
A round full orb'd eidolonL
