Yet the absence of the imagination had Itself to be imagined. The great pond, The plain sense of it, without reflections, leaves, Mud, water like dirty glass, expressing silence
Of a sort, silence of a rat come out to see, The great pond and its waste of the lilies, all this Had to be imagined as an inevitable knowledge, Required, as necessity requires.
The sun is an example. What it seems It is and in such seeming all things are.
Thus things are like a seeming of the sun Or like a seeming of the moon or night
Or sleep.
