Medium Earth

“In the one instance, the dreamer ... loses sight of this object in a wilderness of deductions and suggestions ... until ... he finds the incitamentum, or first cause of his musings,... forgotten.

—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

“Parched body, hollow eyes, some uncouth thing
Made him appear, long since from earth exiled.”
