And give them action, color, shape and shade

Just as she wills. But the Great Spirit broke

His sleep at last, and all the boundless shook.

Did o’er the deep on outstretched pinions spring;

Fire in his eye lit all immensity,

Whilst his majestically gliding wing

Trembled hoarse thunders to the shuddering sea;
