Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning The Tempest. A Fragment. "Mors crat ante oculos." - Lucan, lib. ix. The forest made my home - the voiceful streams My minstrel throng: the everlasting hills, - Which marry with the firmament, and cry Unto the brazen thunder, "Come away, Come from thy secret place, and try our strength," - Enwrapp´d me with their solemn arms. Here, light Grew pale as darkness, scared by the shade O´ the forest Titans. Here, in piney state, Reign´d Night, the Æthiopian queen, and crown´d The charmed brow of Solitude, her spouse. A sign was on creation. You beheld All things encolour´d in a sulph´rous hue, As day were sick with fear. The haggard clouds O´erhung the utter lifelessness of air; The top boughs of the forest, all aghast, Stared in the face of Heav´n; the deep-mouth´d wind, That hath a voice to bay the armed sea, Fled with a low cry like a beaten hound; And only that askance the shadows, ¿ew Some open-beaked birds in wilderment, Naught stirred abroad. All dumb did Nature seem, In expectation of the coming storm. It came in power. You soon might hear afar The footsteps of the martial thunder sound Over the mountain battlements; the sky Being deep-stain´d with hues fantastical, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
