Transcendentalism

It is told, in Buddhi-theosophic schools,
        There are rules.
By observing which, when mundane labor irks
One can simulate quiescence
By a timely evanescence
From his Active Mortal Essence,
        (Or his Works.)

The particular procedure leaves research
        In the lurch,
But, apparently, this matter-moulded form
    Is a kind of outer plaster,
    Which a well-instructed Master
    Can remove without disaster
        When he's warm.

And to such as mourn an Indian Solar Clime
        At its prime
'Twere a thesis most immeasurably fit,
    So expansively elastic,
    And so plausibly fantastic,
    That one gets enthusiastic
        For a bit.
