"Happy, he who can unbind / The Chains that clog the fetter'd Mind!"
Metaphor in Context
Bless'd the Man, whose perfect Sight
Views the Rays of heavenly Light!
Happy, he who can unbind
The Chains that clog the fetter'd Mind!
Break from the Ties of Matter forth,
And struggle to a mental Birth?
Views the Rays of heavenly Light!
Happy, he who can unbind
The Chains that clog the fetter'd Mind!
Break from the Ties of Matter forth,
And struggle to a mental Birth?
