“I exist as I am, that is enough,
if no other in the world be aware I sit content,
and if each and all be aware, I sit content.”

-from Sonf Of Myself

“All space, all time,
(The stars, the terrible perturbations of the suns,
Swelling, collapsing, ending, serving their longer, shorter use,)
Fill’d with eidolons only.

The noiseless, myriads,
The infinite oceans, where the rivers empty,
The separate countless free identities, like eyesight,
the true realities, eidolons.”

- from Eidolons
