“Thus did I by the water’s brink
Another world beneath me think;
And while the lofty spacious skies
Reverséd there, abused mine eyes,
I fancied other feet
Came mine to touch or meet;
As by some puddle I did play
Another world within it lay.”
Excerto do poema Shadows in the water, de Thomas Traherne (1636 ou 1637 – 1674)
