"Mystic Boat" by Odilon Redon
Asia's song from Prometheus Unbound
My soul is an enchanted boat,
Which, like a sleeping swan, doth float
Upon the silver waves of thy sweet singing :
And thine doth like and angel sit
Beside the helm conducting it,
Whilst all the wind with melody are ringing.
It seems to float ever, for ever,
Upon that many-winding river,
Between mountains, wood, abysses,
A paradise of wildernesses!
Till, like one in slumber bound,
Borne to the ocean, I float down, around,
Into a sea profound, of ever-spreading sound.
P. B. Shelley
