I dreamed dreams of life eternal In that Promised Land of peace; I dreamed dreams of fragrant regions, Of a tranquil, sweet Kashmir; I could witness celebrations, Festivals of roses vernal Honoring that lovely maiden From lands strange and far away. And, with glistening enchantment Like an angel from above, - This untainted, youthful vision Came before my dreaming eyes; Like a veil, a shining shroud Screened her lovely face from view, Tenderly she did incline Her shy gazes toward the earth. All her traits - her timid shyness Underneath her shining crown, Childlike her animation, And her face's noble beauty - Glowing with a depth of feeling, Sweet serenity and peace - All of these completely artless Indescribably sublime! As I watched, the apparition (Captivating me in passing) Never to return, flew by; I pursued - but it had gone! T'was a vision merely fleeting, Transient illumination Leaving nothing but a legend Of its passing through my life! T'is not ours to harbor Beauty's spirit - Ah, so pure! It comes nigh but for a moment From its heavenly abode; Like a dream, it slips away, Like an airy dream of morning: But in sacred reminiscence It is married with the heart! Only in the purest instants Of our life does it appear Bringing with it revelations Beneficial to our hearts; That our hearts may know of heaven In this earthly shadow realm, It allows us momentary Glimpses through the earthly veil. And through all that here is lovely, All that animates our lives, To our souls it speaks a language Reassuring and distinct; When it quits our earthly region It bestows a gift of love Glowing in our evening heaven: \"Tis a farewell star for all to see.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Vasily Zhukovsky" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/vasily-zhukovsky/lalla-ruk-dearest-dream-my-soul-s-enchantment-lovely-guest-from-heav/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/20e/vasily-zhukovsky-68538_dreams_lalla-ruk-dearest-dream-my-soul-s-enchan_123582.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/20e/vasily-zhukovsky-68538_dreams_lalla-ruk-dearest-dream-my-soul-s-enchan_123582.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/20e/vasily-zhukovsky-68538_dreams_lalla-ruk-dearest-dream-my-soul-s-enchan_123582.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Lalla Ruk Dearest dream, my soul's enchantment Lovely guest from heav'n above, Most benevolent attender To…” — Vasily Zhukovsky", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 13, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“To a Familiar Genius Flying By Reveal yourself, anonymous enchanter! What heaven hastens you to me? Why draw me to that promised land again That I gave up so long ago? Was it not you who in my youth Enchanted me with such sweet dreams, Did you not whisper, long ago, Dear hopes of a guests ethereal? Was it not you through whom all lived In golden days, in happy lands Of fragrant meadows, waters bright, Where days were merry ?neath clear skies? Was it not you who breathed into my vernal breast Some melancholy mysteries Tormenting it with keen desire Exciting it to anxious joy? Was it not you who bore my soul aloft Upon the inspiration of your sacred verse, Who flamed before me like a holy vision, Initiating me into life's beauty? In hours lost, hours of secret grief, Did you not always murmur to my heart, With happy comfort soothe it And nurture it with quiet hope? Did not my soul forever heed you In all the purest moments of my life When'ere it glimpsed fate's sacred essence With only God to witness it? What news bring you, O, my enchantress? Or will you once more call in dreams Awaken futile thoughts of old, Whisper of joy and then fall silent? O spirit, bide with me awhile; O, faithful friend, haste not away; Stay, please become my earthly life, O, Guardian angel of my soul.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Vasily Zhukovsky" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/vasily-zhukovsky/to-a-familiar-genius-flying-by-reveal-yourself-anonymous-enchanter/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/09b/vasily-zhukovsky-68538_golden-days_to-a-familiar-genius-flying-by-reveal-yo_1341293.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/09b/vasily-zhukovsky-68538_golden-days_to-a-familiar-genius-flying-by-reveal-yo_1341293.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/09b/vasily-zhukovsky-68538_golden-days_to-a-familiar-genius-flying-by-reveal-yo_1341293.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“To a Familiar Genius Flying By Reveal yourself, anonymous enchanter!
