A man returns to a room where someone important to him had spent a long time. Although the person is no longer alive, the man feels their presence must still linger. When he turns around, shocked by this feeling, the person is sitting in their old chair as if still among the living. Calm and unchanged from in life, the person smiles knowingly at the man, conveying that they were brought into manifestation by the man's arrival and will disappear again once he leaves.

Much as he left it when he went from us Here was the room again where he had been So long that something oh him should be seen, Or felt-and so it was. Incredulous, I turned about, loath to be greeted thus, And there he was in his old chair, serene As ever, and as laconic as lean As when he lived, and as cadaverous. Calm as he was of old when we were young, He sat there gazing at the pallid flame Before him. 'And how far will this go on?' I thought. He felt the failure of my tongue, And smiled: 'I was not here until you came; And I shall not be here when you are gone.'
