LA VIE CEREBRALE

I am alone, alone
There is nothing... ( only I )
And when I come to die
( All must be gone )

Eternal thought in me
Puts on the dress of time
And builds a stage to mime
Its listless tragedy.

And in that dress of time
And on that stage of space
I place, change, and replace
Life to a wilful rhyme.

I summon at my whim
All things that are, that were:
The high incredible air
Where stars, my creatures, swim.

I dream and from my mind
The dead, the living come
I build a marble Rome,
I give it to the wind.

And Athens and Babylon
I breathe upon the night,
Troy towers for my delight
And crumbles stone by stone.
