Halaman 142 - Smooth to the shelving brink a copious flood Rolls fair and placid; where collected all, In one impetuous torrent, down the steep It thundering shoots, and shakes the country round.

Halaman 141 - Beaching the wood, where the descent is less precipitous, it winds among the trees, sometimes showing itself, and at others totally concealed, whilst it serpentines towards the lake. The spray which is dashed around the rocks, and carried upon the breeze, wherever it meets the rays of the sun, through the openings of the cliffs, takes the colours of the rainbow.
Halaman 153 - Mists began to arise on the lake, and by reason of the air which bore them aloft being confined and eddying within this deep circle, they were whirled round, and carried upwards like a column, which...
