Background
A description of the experience
Robert Browning – from Paracelsus Book V
For men begin to pass their nature's bound
And find new hopes and cares which fast supplant
Their proper joys and griefs, they outgrow all
The narrow creeds of right and wrong, which fade
Before the unmeasured thirst for good, while peace
Rises within them ever more and more
Such men are even now upon the earth
Serene amid the half formed creatures round
Who should be saved by them and joined with them
