IMAGINATION AND MEMORY.
Imagination is a God, who callsGreat globes of grandeur into golden light
From the dim desolation of the Night—
Who from incongruous chaos draws the law
Of order and completeness, and the awe
Of whose benignant Beauty fills the world;
But Christ-like Memory stands within the halls
Of the sepulchral Past—which at the dread,
Deep summons of that voice, gives up its dead.
