Background
A description of the experience
The Hound of Heaven and other poems – Francis Thompson
from The Mistress of Vision
But woe's me, and woe's me
For the secret of her eyes
In my visions fearfully
They are ever shown to be
As fringed pools, whereof each lies
Pallid dark beneath the skies
Of a night that is
But one blear necropolis
And her eyes a little tremble, in the wind of her own sighs
