Description: A NOISELESS, patient spider, I mark'd, where, on a little promontory, it stood, isolated; Mark'd how, to explore the vacant, vast surrounding, It launch'd forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself; Ever unreeling them-ever tirelessly speeding them. And you, O my Soul, where you stand, Surrounded, surrounded, in measureless oceans of space, Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, -seeking the spheres, to connect them; Till the bridge you will need, be form'd -till the ductile anchor hold; Till the gossamer thread you fling, catch somewhere, O my Soul.
