Strana 295 - Trans., with Notes, by T. Ross. 3 vols. Views of Nature ; or, Contemplations of the Sublime Phenomena of Creation, with Scientific Illustrations. Trans, by EC Otte.
Strana 281 - Of fruits, and flowers, and bunches of knot-grass, And diamonded with panes of quaint device, Innumerable of stains and splendid dyes, As are the tiger-moth's deep-damask'd wings; And in the midst, 'mong thousand heraldries, And twilight saints, and dim emblazonings, A shielded scutcheon blush'd with blood of queens and kings.

Throngs of insects in the shade Try their thin wings and dance in the warm beam That waked them into life.
