"Where is the land of Luthany,Where is the tract of Elenore?I am bound therefore.'Pierce thy heart to find the key;With thee take Only what none else would keep;Learn to dream when thou dost wake;Learn to wake when thou dost sleep. Learn to water joy with tears,Learn from fears to vanquish fears;To hope, for thou dar'st not despair;Exult, for that thou dar'st not grieve;Plough thou the rock until it bear;Know, for thou else couldst not believe;Lose, that the lost thou may'st receive;Die, for none other way canst live.'When earth and heave lay down their veil,And that apocalypse turns thee pale;When thy seeing blindeth thee To what thy fellow-mortals see;When their sight to thee is sightless;Their living, death; their light, most lightless;Search no more--Pass the gates of Luthany,Tread the region Elenore!'Where is the land of Luthany?And where the region Elenore?I do faint therefore.'When to the new eyes of thee All things by immortal power,Near or far,Hiddenly To each other linked are,That thou canst not stir a flower Without troubling of a star;When thy song is shield and mirror To the fair snake curled pain,Where thou dar'st affront her terror That on her thou may'st attain Persean Conquest; seek no more,O seek no more!Pass the gates of Luthany,Tread the region Elenore!"
