Appeal to Mediums

...

Lord Byron says :—

“ I merely mean to say what Johnson said, That in the course of some six thousand years All nations have believed that from the dead A visitant at intervals appears; And what is strangest upon this strange head Is, that whatever bar the reason rears ’Gainst such belief, there’s something stronger still In its behalf, let those deny who will.”

Alfred Tennyson says :—

“How pure at heart and sound in head, With what Divine affections bold, Should be the man whose thoughts would hold An hour’s communion with the dead!”
