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
