CHAPTER XV. — Dreams

 Dreams! dreams! golden dreams: endless, and golden, as the flowery prairies, that stretch away from the Rio Sacramento, in whose waters Danae's shower was woven;—prairies like rounded eternities: jonquil leaves beaten out; and my dreams herd¹ like buffaloes², browsing³ on to the horizon, and browsing on round the world; and among them, I dash with my lance, to spear one, ere they all flee.

 

Dreams! dreams! passing and repassing, like Oriental empires in history; and scepters wave thick, as Bruce's pikes at Bannockburn; and crowns are plenty as marigolds in June. And far in the background, hazy⁴ and blue, their steeps let down from the sky, loom⁵ Andes on Andes, rooted on Alps; and all round me, long rushing oceans, roll Amazons and Oronocos; waves, mounted Parthians; and, to and fro, toss the wide woodlands: all the world an elk⁶, and the forests its antlers.

 

But far to the South, past my Sicily suns and my vineyards, stretches the Antarctic barrier of ice: a China wall, built up from the sea, and nodding its frosted towers in the dun, clouded sky. Do Tartary and Siberia lie beyond? Deathful, desolate⁷ dominions⁸ those; bleak⁹ and wild the ocean, beating at that barrier's base, hovering¹⁰ 'twixt freezing and foaming¹¹; and freighted with navies of ice-bergs,—warring worlds crossing orbits; their long icicles, projecting like spears to the charge. Wide away stream the floes of drift ice, frozen cemeteries¹² of skeletons and bones. White bears howl as they drift from their cubs¹³; and the grinding islands crush the skulls¹⁴ of the peering seals.

 

But beneath me, at the Equator, the earth pulses and beats like a warrior's heart; till I know not, whether it be not myself. And my soul sinks down to the depths, and soars to the skies; and comet-like reels on through such boundless¹⁵ expanses, that methinks all the worlds are my kin¹⁶, and I invoke¹⁷ them to stay in their course. Yet, like a mighty¹⁸ three-decker, towing argosies by scores, I tremble, gasp¹⁹, and strain in my flight, and fain would cast off the cables that hamper²⁰.

 

And like a frigate²¹, I am full with a thousand souls; and as on, on, on, I scud²² before the wind, many mariners²³ rush up from the orlop below, like miners from caves; running shouting across my decks; opposite braces²⁴ are pulled; and this way and that, the great yards swing round on their axes; and boisterous²⁵ speaking-trumpets are heard; and contending orders, to save the good ship from the shoals. Shoals, like nebulous vapors²⁶, shoreing the white reef of the Milky²⁷ Way, against which the wrecked²⁸ worlds are dashed; strewing²⁹ all the strand³⁰, with their Himmaleh keels and ribs³¹.

 

Ay: many, many souls are in me. In my tropical calms, when my ship lies tranced on Eternity's main, speaking one at a time, then all with one voice: an orchestra of many French bugles³² and horns, rising, and falling, and swaying, in golden calls and responses.

 

Sometimes, when these Atlantics and Pacifics thus undulate round me, I. — lie stretched out in their midst: a land-locked Mediterranean³³, knowing no ebb³⁴, nor flow. Then again, I am dashed in the spray of these sounds: an eagle at the world's end, tossed skyward, on the horns of the tempest.

 

Yet, again, I descend³⁵, and list to the concert.

 

Like a grand, ground swell³⁶, Homer's old organ rolls its vast volumes under the light frothy wave-crests of Anacreon and Hafiz; and high over my ocean, sweet Shakespeare soars, like all the larks³⁷ of the spring. Throned on my seaside, like Canute, bearded Ossian smites³⁸ his hoar harp³⁹, wreathed with wild-flowers, in which warble my Wallers; blind Milton sings bass⁴⁰ to my Petrarchs and Priors, and laureate crown me with bays.

 

In me, many worthies⁴¹ recline, and converse⁴². I list to St. Paul who argues the doubts of Montaigne; Julian the Apostate⁴³ cross-questions Augustine; and Thomas-a-Kempis unrolls his old black letters for all to decipher. Zeno murmurs⁴⁴ maxims⁴⁵ beneath the hoarse⁴⁶ shout of Democritus; and though Democritus laugh loud and long, and the sneer⁴⁷ of Pyrrho be seen; yet, divine Plato, and Proclus, and, Verulam are of my counsel; and Zoroaster whispered me before I was born. I walk a world that is mine; and enter many nations, as Mingo Park rested in African cots; I am served like Bajazet: Bacchus my butler, Virgil my minstrel, Philip Sidney my page. My memory is a life beyond birth; my memory, my library of the Vatican, its alcoves⁴⁸ all endless perspectives, eve-tinted by cross-lights from Middle-Age oriels.

 

And as the great Mississippi musters⁴⁹ his watery⁵⁰ nations: Ohio, with all his leagued streams; Missouri, bringing down in torrents⁵¹ the clans⁵² from the highlands; Arkansas, his Tartar rivers from the plain;—so, with all the past and present pouring in me, I roll down my billow from afar.

 

Yet not I, but another: God is my Lord; and though many satellites revolve⁵³ around me, I and all mine revolve round the great central Truth, sun-like, fixed⁵⁴ and luminous⁵⁵ forever in the foundationless firmament⁵⁶.

 

Fire flames on my tongue; and though of old the Bactrian prophets were stoned, yet the stoners in oblivion sleep. But whoso stones me, shall be as Erostratus, who put torch to the temple; though Genghis Khan with Cambyses combine to obliterate⁵⁷ him, his name shall be extant in the mouth of the last man that lives. And if so be, down unto death, whence I came, will I go, like Xenophon retreating on Greece, all Persia brandishing⁵⁸ her spears in his rear.

 

My cheek blanches⁵⁹ white while I write; I start at the scratch of my pen; my own mad brood of eagles devours⁶⁰ me; fain would I unsay this audacity⁶¹; but an iron-mailed hand clenches⁶² mine in a vice⁶³, and prints down every letter in my spite. Fain would I hurl⁶⁴ off this Dionysius that rides me; my thoughts crush me down till I groan⁶⁵; in far fields I. — hear the song of the reaper⁶⁶, while I slave and faint in this cell. The fever runs through me like lava⁶⁷; my hot brain burns like a coal; and like many a monarch⁶⁸, I am less to be envied, than the veriest hind⁶⁹ in the land.
