“Go not to bed leaving bread and milk behind On the table: these summon the dead. But He, the exorcist, mingles Under the mildness of our eyelids Their spectres amongst all else that we see; And the spells from fumitory of earth smoke and of rue Are as explicit to Him as the clearest logical connection. Nothing can derange for Him the truly formed image, Be it of graves, be it of rooms, Singing of rings, of spangles, of urns.”
