And still the two pursued their downward course,174
Till starting, when the wind with boisterous force
Rushed up the cavern where their passage lay,—
He gazed around;—and on his wondering sight
Burst wild confusion; combinations new;
And like old chaos and eternal night,
Ere elements were joined, or parts their province knew.
He stood now on the fearful brink
Of a vast rock, that crunched beneath his feet;
Should it give way, I ween that he would sink
Till time should be no more, and soul and body meet.
