A description of the experience
Edgar Allan Poe – From To One in Paradise (1833)
For, alas! alas! me
The light of Life is o’er!
“No more — no more — no more-”
(Such language holds the solemn sea
To the sands upon the shore)
Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree
Or the stricken eagle soar!
And all my days are trances,
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy grey eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams —
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams.
