A description of the experience
The Poems of James Russell Lowell
One step beyond life’s work day things
One more beat of the soul’s broad wings
One deeper sorrow sometimes brings
The spirit into that great Vast
Where neither future is nor past
None knoweth how he entered there
But waking, finds his spirit where
He thought an angel could not soar
And what he called false dreams before
The very air about his door
