CHAPTER XIX.

“The sun had set in rich magnificence:

The west was a region of golden light,

Inscrutable in lustre, involving

The imagination in its ocean

Of effulgence: while from its distant shores

Of miraculous brightness, came floating,

On mid air, light fleeces of gold. Slowly

The silent moments stole a chill o’er this

Enchantment, the bright wand’rers disappeared;
