Página 109 - I'll be as busy as they." 2. Then he flew to the mountain, and powdered its crest; He lit on the trees, and their boughs he dressed In diamond beads; and over the breast Of the quivering lake, he spread A coat of mail, that it need not fear The downward point of many a spear, That he hung on its margin, far and near, Where a rock could rear its head.

Página 108 - THE Frost looked forth, one still, clear night, And he said, "Now I shall be out of sight; So through the valley and over the height In silence I'll take my way. I will not go like that blustering train, The wind and the snow, the hail and the rain, Who make so much bustle and noise in vain. But I'll be as busy as they!
Página 100 - Thus sailing the heavens, it descends again, unchanged, again to renew the same ceaseless round: for ever roaming between the earth and the vacant regions of space; wandering about the earth below, in the performance of its endless duties, and, though appearing at rest, resting nowhere. This, and more, is water: powerful in its weakness, and powerful in its strength: an union of feebleness and force, of incessant activity and apparent tranquillity, of nullity and ubiquity, of insignificance and power...
Página 99 - Transparent, and colourless, it is the emblem of purity : in its mobility it is embued with the spirit of life : a self-acting agent, a very will, in the unceasing river, the dancing brook, the furious torrent, and the restless ocean : speaking with its own voice, in the tinkling of the dropping cavern, the murmuring of the rill, the rush of the cascade, and the roar of the sea wave ; and, even in the placid lake, throwing its own spirit of vitality over the immoveable objects around.
Página 100 - Yielding to every impulse, unresisting, even to light, it becomes the irresistible force before which the ocean-promontory crumbles to dust, and the rocky mountain is levelled with the plain below ; a mechanical power whose energy is without bounds.

Of an apparently absolute neutrality, without taste, without smell — a powerless nothingness — that deceptive innocence is the solvent of everything, reducing the thousand solids of the earth to its own form.
