"A wild gust of wind...shrieked in his very ear." (p.570)
Note 26:
One need not be a Chamber-to be Haunted-
One need not be a House-
The Brain has Corridors-surpassing
Material Place-
For safer, of a Midnight Meeting
External Ghost
Than its interior Confronting-
That Cooler Host.
Far safer, through an Abbey gallop,
The Stones a' chase-
Than Unarmed, one's a'self encounter-
In lonesome Place-
Ourself behind ourself, concealed-
Should startle most-
Assassin hid in our Apartment
Be Horror's least.
The Body-borrows a Revolver-
He bolts the Door-
O'erlooking a superior spectre-
Or More-
