And now in the fresh forest air I stood

View from the Ruins of Fort Putnam.—Names of the Highland Peaks.—Drake's "Culprit Fan

Nerved to another day of wandering.

The sky bent round

The awful domes of a most mighty temple,

Built by Omnipotent hands for nothing less

Than infinite worship. Here I stood in silence;

I had no words to tell the mingled thoughts

Of wonder and of joy that then came o'er me
