In all their formsin the Vedas, in the Neo- Platonists, in Jacob Boehmen, in your Catholic creeds, in Coleridge, and the Germans from whom he borrowed, I have looked at them, and found in them beautiful phantasms of philosophy, . . .

He speaks of the phantasm as past.

He was trying to get the unwonted quaking out of his hands and the memory of the night's heart-dissolving phantasms from before his inner vision.

Fifty phantasms out of the whole occurred during anxiety or presumable anxiety.

Dazzled, amazed, our eyes half-blinded, fail, While sweeps the phantasm past our gliding sail Like as in festive scene, some sudden light Rises in clouds of stars upon the night.
