> O, Ye!, from spheres of light stream through this head, > —spoken to the spirits!— > Stream through it— > —the head— > *Move there in ways which spirits pure are led, > Damp well down his brain's insane confusion*; > with the ordered processes of thought that dissipate madness— > *Damp well down his—man's—brain's insane confusion, > From his striving untangle all doubt's fire and fear*, > —just feel the words! They scatter doubts, banish them as wisdom pours in!— > To guide him within from the paths of illusion.
