These are fragments again without date addressed to Adam.

As at return of tide the total weight of ocean,

Drawn by moon and sun from Labrador and Greenland,

Sets-in amain, in the open space betwixt Mull and Scarba,

Heaving, swelling, spreading the might of the mighty Atlantic;

There into cranny and slit of the rocky, cavernous bottom

Settles down, and with dimples huge the smooth sea-surface

Eddies, coils, and whirls; by dangerous Corryvreckan:

So in my soul of souls, through its cells and secret recesses,

Comes back, swelling and spreading, the old democratic fervour.
