First lines
How have I wandered here to this vaulted room / In the house of life?--the floor was ruffled with gold / Last evening, and she who was softly in bloom, / Glimmered as flowers that in perfume at twilight unfold
For the flush of the night; whereas now the gloom / Of every dirty, must-besprinkled mould, / And damp old web of misery's heirloom / Deadens this day's grey-dropping arras-fold.
And what is this that floats on the undermist / Of the mirror towards the dusty grate, as if feeling / Unsightly its way to the warmth?--this thing with a list / To the left? this ghost like a candle swealing?
