[1786]. The following picture by Milton almost seems to be designed to form a contrast to the above:
As when from mountain-tops the dusky clouds
Ascending, while the north wind sleeps, o’erspread
Heaven’s cheerful face, the lowring element
Scowls o’er the darken’d landscape snow or shower;
If chance the radiant sun, with farewell sweet,
Extend his evening beam, the fields revive,
The birds their notes renew, and bleating herds
