Ben Nevis. By Keats, John. Read me a lesson, Muse, and speak it loud Upon the top of Nevis, blind in mist! I look into the chasms, and a shroud Vapourous doth hide them, -just so much I wist Mankind do know of hell; I look o'erhead, And there is sullen mist, -even so much Mankind can tell of heaven; mist is spread Before the earth, beneath me, -even such, Even so vague is man's sight ofhimself! Here are the craggy stones beneath my feet, - Thus much I know that, a poor witless elf, I tread on them, -that all my eye doth meet Is mist and crag, not only on this height, But in the world of thought and mental might!
