William Wordsworth, in the "Prospectus" (written between 1798 and 1800) to The Excursion (published 1814), composed the following lines:

"Not Chaos, not
The darkest pit of lowest Erebus,
Nor aught of blinder vacancy, scooped out
By help of dreams—can breed such fear and awe
As fall upon us often when we look
Into our Minds, into the Mind of Man—
My Haunt, and the main region of my song."^[1]^[2]
