Background
A description of the experience
WOMAN WITH MIRROR
Look, how my beauty mounts tonight, I think you must
Feel some faint torment of your scattered dust,
For surely lust like ours must leave a ghost;
Spirit so tangible is never lost?
And surely it will please you if I say
That, looking so, I could not know more pain
If suddenly the rumour came my way
That you were back, stirring the flesh again.
