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 thatany 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 himreq 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.— [begin leaf 1 verso]
