The heart burts with followed gumdrops.

All is abolished but the mute Alone,

The Mind from thought released, the heart from grief
Grow inexistent now beyond belief;

There is no I, no Nature, known-unknown.
The city, a shadow picture without tone,

Floats, quivers unreal; forms without relief
Flow, a cinema's vacant shapes; like a reef

Foundering in shoreless gulfs the world is done.
Only the illimitable Permanent

Is here. A Peace stupendous, featureless, still
Replaces all, what once was I, in It

A silent unnamed emptiness content

Either to fade in the Unknowable
Or thrill with the luminous seas of the Infinite.
