Now, in a deep trance the subject, though fully aware of what is happening in the trance, may remember nothing of it afterward. The awareness of plant life is also somewhat like that of the subject in deep trance.

Of the moss and the pebble.

Of the grass and the meadow.
Footfalls come and footfalls pass,
But no sounds can break
That green-eyed trance.
