“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but nature more,”

“His little throat labours with inspiration, every feather
On throat and breast and wings vibrates with the effluence Divine.”
