(West Coast of Scotland, p. 55.)

"Where the Northern Ocean in vast whirls

Boils round the naked, melancholy Isles

Of further Thule, ....


Who can recount what transmigrations there

Are annually made? What nations come and go?

And how the living clouds arise.

Infinite wings! till all the plume-dark air

And rude resounding shore are one wild cry?"
