Explore "Night" by George William Russell on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Heart-hidden from the outer things I rose; / The spirit woke anew in nightly birth / Unto the vastness where forever glows / The star-soul of the earth.
There all alone in primal ecstasy, / Within her depths where revels never tire, / The Olden Beauty shines: each thought of me / Is veined through with its fire.
And all my thoughts are throngs of living souls; / They breathe in me, heart unto heart allied; / Their joy undimmed, though when the morning tolls / The planets may divide.
