Days, when the ball of our vision
Had eagles that flew unabashed
to sun;
When the grasp on the bow was decision.
And arrow and
hand and eye were one;
When the Pleasures, like waves to a
swimmer.
Came heaving for rapture ahead! —
Invoke them,
they dwindle, they glimmer
As lights over mounds of the dead.
— George Meredith
