4×4×4×4

Into this Universe, and why not knowing,
Nor whence, like Water willy-nilly flowing:
And out of it, as Wind along the Waste,
I know not whither, willy-nilly blowing

Heav'n but the Vision of fulfill'd Desire,
And Hell the Shadow of a soul on fire,
Cast on the Darkness into which Ourselves,
So late emerg'd from, shall so soon expire

Into this Universe, and why not knowing,
Nor whence, like Water willy-nilly flowing:
And out of it, as Wind along the Waste

When you and I behind the Veil are past,
Oh, but the long, long while the World shall last,
Which of our coming and Departure heeds
As the Sea's self should head a pebble-cast

Heav'n but the Vision of fulfill'd Desire,
And Hell the Shadow of a soul on fire,
Cast on the Darkness into which Ourselves,
So late emerg'd from, shall so soon expire

The Revelations of Devout and Learn'd
Who rose before us, and as Prophet burn'd,
Are all but Stories, which, awoke from Sleep
They told their comrades and to sleep return'd
