I cannot exist without you - I am forgetful of every thing but seeing you again - my Life seems to stop there - I see no further. You have absorb'd me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I were dissolving... I have been astonished that Men could die Martyrs for religion - I have shudder'd at it - I shudder no more - I could be martyr'd for my Religion - Love is my religion - I could die for that - I could die for you. My creed is Love and you are its only tenet - You have ravish'd me away by a Power I cannot resist.

My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains/ My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk.

A moment's thought is passion's passing knell.

Load every rift with ore.

...yes, in spite of all, Some shape of beauty moves away the pall From out dark spirits.

I will clamber through the clouds and exist.

Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced.
