Scene I.—A Hall in the Castle of Manfred.

                                Manfred and Herman.

Man. What is the hour?

Her.                 It wants but one till sunset,
And promises a lovely twilight.

Man.                 Say,
Are all things so disposed of in the tower
As I directed?

Her.         All, my Lord, are ready:
Here is the key and casket.

Man. It is well:
Thou mayst retire.

                                                                 [Exit Herman.

Man. (alone).         There is a calm upon me—
Inexplicable stillness! which till now
Did not belong to what I knew of life.
If that I did not know Philosophy
To be of all our vanities the motliest,
The merest word that ever fooled the ear
From out the schoolman's jargon, I should deem
The golden secret, the sought "Kalon," found,
And seated in my soul. It will not last,
But it is well to have known it, though but once:
It hath enlarged my thoughts with a new sense,
And I within my tablets would note down
That there is such a feeling. Who is there?
