What is open to a spirit's sight?

Dreamily; dreamily, I have floated down the Egyptian Nile and watched the sun setting with yellow splendour beyond its strange waters.

I have stood on the top of the highest pyramid; sat down before the great Sphinx and looked into its mysterious eyes; seen the moon rise in weird glory over the temple of Thebes; have felt the kiss of the most beautiful of women trembling on my lips; have had visions of fairy loveliness, but these experiences all pale and become as mist before the transcendent realities, which open to a spirit's sight!

―Spirit De Quincey
