Yet I dared not speak!

Yet I dared not speak!
I dread the events of
the external air. The now
miraculous luster of the picture

would be seen, he said, with a low
and indefinite sound
which came through a remote portion
of its meaning. I still retained

sufficient presence of mind to
avoid exciting my imagination by slow yet
certain condensation of an
atmosphere of soul.
