עמוד x - Star of descending night ! fair is thy light in the west ! thou liftest thy unshorn head from thy cloud ; thy steps are stately on thy hill. What dost thou behold in the plain?

עמוד 80 - They are neither grey nor blackened ; like the bones of man, they seem to whiten under the sun of the desert. Here is no lichen, no moss, no rank grass or mantling ivy, no wall-flower or wild fig-tree to robe them, and to conceal their deformities, and bloom above them.

עמוד 164 - O'er the glorious solitude, The billows crouch around her as her slaves. How exulting are her crew, Each sight to them is new, As they sweep along the blue Of the waves.
