Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selections From the Sibylline Leaves Before Sun-rise, in the Vale of Chamouny. Besides the rivers, Arve and Arveison, which have their sources in the foot of Mount Blanc, five conspicuous torrents rush down its sides; and within a few paces of the Glaciers, the Gentiana Major grows in immense numbers, with its "flowers of loveliest blue." Hast thou a charm to stay the Morning-star In his steep course ? So long he seems to pause On thy bald awful head, O sovran Blanc! The Arve and Arveiron at thy base Rave ceaselessly; but thou, most awful Form! Risest from forth thy silent sea of Pines, How silently! Around thee and above Deep is the air and dark, substantial, black, An ebon mass: methinks thou piercest it, As with a wedge! But when I look again, It is thine own calm home, thy chrystal shrine, Thy habitation from eternity! O dread and silent Mount! I gaz´d upon thee, Till thou, still present to the bodily sense, Did´st vanish from my thought: entranc´d in prayer I worshipp´d the Invisible alone.
