Lift not the painted veil which those who live
Call Life: though unreal shapes be pictured there,
And it but mimic all we would believe
With colours idly spread, - behind, lurk Fear
And Hope, twin Destinies; who ever weave
Their shadows, o'er the chasm, sightless and drear.
I knew one who had lifted it-he sought,
For his lost heart was tender, things to love,
But found them not, alas! nor was there aught
The world contains, the which he could approve.
Through the unheeding many he did move,
A splendour among shadows, a bright blot
Upon this gloomy scene, a Spirit that strove
For truth, and like the Preacher found it not.

NOTE
Ova pjesma najpoznatija je po svom uvodnom stihu koji je posluzio kao izravna inspiracija za naslov slavnog romana

Kljucni motivi i znacenje pjesme
Zivot kao iluzija „Oslikani veo" simbolizira materijalni svijet, laznu sliku koja skriva dublje istine.
Strah i Nada: Iza vela su „Strah i Nada", blizanci sudbine koji kroje sjene nad ponorom.
Tragicni tragac: Pojedinac koji podigne veo u potrazi za istinom nalazi samocu i razocaranje, jer svijet ne nudi trazeno savrsenstvo.
Usporedba s Propovjednikom: Tragac se usporedjuje s biblijskim Propovjednikom, zakljucujuci da je istina nedokuciva.
"Ne podizite naslikani veo koji oni pod koji pod njim zive nazivaju zivotom."
