How splendidly those yet urpu pied clouds
Flush as they float into intenscr floods
Or sunset-glow Pure fleece becomes pure gold
Gold that anon, porpl.yrogcne appears:
Tint into tint, flashes now, CT fades;
Turkois and topaz softly interfusc,
And garnet, l<indling, into ruby burns,
Until yon Titan-group of tlslnder-crags,
That gather gloom to intercept the light
Colossal shapes, thrown into bold relief
by the fefuigence of the occident-
As though convulsed by fierce intestine fires,
Dissolve their solemn league: Each beetling brow
lurid lustre wears; each shaggy breast
Is scared and scanned with sanguinary sears;
And from chasm, cleft in their bloody base,
That yawns into the semblance of Il hell,
In long, red, forlled, wildly -ftickering tongues
Flames, as from Tophet, leap!
