William Blake, Vala, or The Four Zoas, Night the Fourth (Tharmas, representing Chaos and Flood, is speaking:) "...would I had never risen/ From deaths cold sleep beneath the bottom of the ragin Ocean/ And cannot those who once have lovd. ever forget their Love? (...) When dark despair comes over can I not/ Flow down into the sea & slumber in oblivion."
