token Of almighty power--to wres,ls
WITH the living thoughts which dwell like
things amid The stir aud strife Of these
eternal waters--to encounter the strong
Ebrea tl,lessness IL awe which is dashed
upon the soul as we inhale at a glance,
the vastness Of The scene. Upon the face
Of the deep, The spirit Of eternity still Is
. broodiog; IS we pause before this wide
UNMARRIED space, and our naked mind
stands bold against the unveiled, eternal
: universe. silent thought ot homage
swels through the endless space; and
that ,hooghtis God. The ocean Is The
material image .of the Almighty: VIVA,
attribute Of Deity is not here substantial!
