And immediately
Rather than words comes the thought of high windows:
The sun-comprehending glass,
And beyond it, the deep blue air, that shows
Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.

Read the Printed Word!

High windows
"

As the bird is to the air

and the whale is to the sea

so man is to his dream.

His world is just the glare

of the world’s utility

returned by his eye-beam.

Each self-reflecting mind

is in this manner destined

to forget its element,

and this is why we find

however deep we listen

that the skies are silent.
