Excerpt from The Law of Love: Being Fantasies of Science and Sentiment Inked Into English to Cheer Up the Gloomsters

Vers Dores

O atheist man! are you the only one imbued
With thought, on earth where everything with life's a-teem?
Though license give your forces fuller scope't would seem
No Universe within your counsels you include.

In every beast may st note a mind with thought indued;
Each flower is a soul in Nature's ample scheme;
With mysteries of love her steely metals gleam;
"All things are sentient!" and your lesser powers elude.

Behold within the sightless wall a watchful eye!
Somewhat of Trinity within all matter hides ...
To impious uses, therefore, turn it not awry!

Oft in the lowliest Earth-born, hidden, God abides;
And like the nascent eye beneath the eyelid's fold,
The stone's close sheath a spirit pure doth hold.

Gerard de Nerval, translated by A. Lenalie.
