Excerpt from Manson's Vision: A Poem

My mind was burdened with a complex theme, Involving the eternal verities, And sank beneath the weight, when darkness came And on its bosom lullabied my thoughts. Becoming then oblivious of the weight.

Excerpt from Manson's Vision: A Poem

Manson's Vision

Canto I

My mind was burdened with a complex theme,
Involving the eternal verities,
And sank beneath the weight, when darkness came
And on its bosom lullabied my thoughts.
Becoming then oblivious of the weight,
I soon was in the borderland where dreams
Are born; from whence, as from a chrysalis
Emerging, I became exalted to
A state of super-consciousness, in which
Existence was an exquisite delight,
And I a bubble on an ocean of
Placidity. While thus in sweet repose,
I saw the conformation of a ray
Of light, as when a rainbow dawns upon
The clouds, which, as I gazed on it, assumed
A contour and a personality.
Causing me wonderment expressionless.
For never on the earth had I beheld
Such blended beauty, having all the hues
That seem like hints of color in a shell,
Glinting in playful changefulness upon
A base of pearly purity; and yet
So indistinct in outline as to give
No thought of size but that of majesty.
