dread blasphemy and each star above you
will reprove you for your unbroken dark
ness of intellect-every voice that floats
upon the night, will bewaiI your utter hope

Who, then, unrolled that blue scroll, and
threw upon its high frontispiece the legible
gleaningsof Immortality? Who fashion.

ing waters and its expanse OF islands and
the main? Who paved the heavens with
clouds, and qattuned amid banners of
storms the voice ofsthunders, and anchain.
ed dtheolightnings that lingeri and lurk and
flash in their gloom? Who gave to the
eagle a state eyrie where the tempests
dwell and beat strongest, and to the dove
a tranquil abode amid the forest that ever
echoes to the minstrelsy of her moan2--
Who made light pleasant to thee, and the
darkness covering and herald 10 thesfirst
flashes of morning? Who gave thee that
matchless symmetry of .sinews and limbs?
