Página 310 - No — they are all unchained again. The clouds Sweep over with their shadows, and, beneath, The surface rolls and fluctuates to the eye ; Dark hollows seem to glide along and chase The sunny ridges.
Página 80 - In their bloom, And the names he loved to hear Have been carved for many a year On the tomb.
