As the high watery walls came rolling in, and, at their highest, tumbled into surf, they looked as if the least would engulf the town.
Pagina 334 - Thou faery voyager ! that dost float In such clear water, that thy boat May rather seem To brood on air than on an earthly stream ; Suspended in a stream as clear as sky, Where earth and heaven do make one imagery; 0 blessed vision ! happy child !
