Of destiny. Ah, terribly they rage,—

The hoarse and rapid whirlpools there! My brain

Grows wild, my senses wander, as I gaze

Upon the hurrying waters; and my sight

Vainly would follow, as toward the verge

Sweeps the wide torrent. Waves innumerable

Meet there and madden,—waves innumerable

Urge on and overtake the waves before,

And disappear in thunder and in foam.
