Explore "A Dreamer of Dreams" by Madison Cawein on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ He lived beyond men, and so stood / Admitted to the brotherhood / Of beauty: -- dreams, with which he trod / Companioned like some sylvan god. / And oft men wondered, when his thought / Made all their knowledge seem as naught, / If he, like Uther's mystic son, / Had not been born for Avalon.
/ When wandering mid the whispering trees, / His soul communed with every breeze; / Heard voices calling from the glades, / Bloom-words of the Leimoniaeds; / Or Dryads of the ash and oak, / Who syllabled his name and spoke / With him of presences and powers / That glimpsed in sunbeams, gloomed in showers.
