A beautiful thought struck me suddenly, without any connection which I could trace with my previous trains of though and feeling. It had no analogy to any notion I ever remembered to have found; it surpassed all others in the energy and purity in which it clothed itself; it put by all others by the novelty it bore, and the grasp it laid upon every fiber; for the time, it absorbed all other thoughts;-all the faculties-each in his cell, bowed down and worshiped before this new Star.-Ye who roam among the living and the dead, over flowers or among the cherubims, in real or ideal universes, do not whisper my thought !
