��XXIX.

GHOSTS.

/^\NE need not be a chamber 'to be haunted,

One need not be a house ; The brain has corridors surpassing Material place.

Far safer, of a midnight meeting External ghost, Than an interior confronting That whiter host.

Far safer through an Abbey gallop, The stones achase,

Than, moonless, one's own self encounter In lonesome place.
