Wild Fowl Shooting in France.

Or where the Northern ocean, in vast whirls
Boils round the naked melancholy isles
Of farthest Thulé, and th’ Atlantic surge
Pours in among the stormy Hebrides;
Who can recount what transmigrations there
Are annual made? what nations come and go?
And how the living clouds on clouds arise?
Infinite wings till all the plume-dark air
And rude, resounding shore, are one wild cry.

Thomson.
