Songs empty, yet airy, I've striven to write, For failure, dear Mary! Forgive me--Good-night! Songs and flowers may beset you, I can only regret you, While the soil where I met you Recedes from my sight.
Poems Adam Lindsay Gordon 2008
The Lamp of Life Always we are following a light, Always the light recedes; with groping hands We stretch toward this glory, while the lands We journey through are hidden from our sight Dim and mysterious, folded deep in night, We care not, all our utmost need demands Is but the light, the light!

For it explains phenomena by something still more unknown than are they, namely by laws of nature resting on forces…
Arthur Schopenhauer
When the horror recedes and the world resumes its normal shape, you cannot forget it. You have seen what is "really" there, the empty horror that exists when the consoling illusion of our mundane experience is stripped away, so you can never respond to the world in quite the same way again." from Coleridge: Like one, that on a lonesome road Doth walk in fear and dread, And having once turned round walks on, And turns no more his head; Because he knows, a frightful fiend Doth close behind him tread
