LXVIII.

We are no other than a moving row Of Magic Shadow-shapes that come and go Round with the Sun-illumined Lantern held In Midnight by the Master of the Show;

This quatrain is translated from O. 108.

This vault of heaven beneath which we stand bewildered, We know to be a sort of magic-lantern:[73] Know thou that the sun is the flame and the universe is the lamp, We are like figures that revolve in it.
