Samuel Taylor Coleridge – The Complete Poems
From Sonnet September 1796
Oft o'er my brain does that strange fancy roll
Which makes the present (while the flash doth last)
Seem a mere semblance of some unknown past,
Mixed with such feelings, as perplex the soul
Self questioning in her sleep; and some have said
We lived, ere yet this robe of flesh we wore
