  [begin leaf 1 recto] 314 I am ^can be I am can become a corpse, shroud; shrouded and buried, I have wrapped a man's body body, and  
  am lie in the coffin with him. it.
It is dark there underground;— It is not evil or pain there—it is the  
  absence of all that is good.—
Now it seems to me that any every thing out of  
  from not under above ^in the ground light ^above must be  
  happy, enough,
Whoever is not in his coffin, and the  
  dark grave, let him req know  
  he has enough.
The retrospective extasy is upon me—I am now my soul —spirit  
  burns volcanic
The earth recedes ashamed before my  
  prophetical crisis.—
