September 19

A thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

THE immeasurable height Of woods decaying, never to be decayed,

The stationary blasts of waterfalls,

And in the narrow rent at every turn

Winds thwarting winds, bewildered and forlorn,

The torrents shooting from the clear blue sky,

The rocks that muttered close upon our ears,

Black drizzling crags that spake by the way-side

As if a voice were in them, the sick sight

And giddy prospect of the raving stream,

The unfettered clouds and region of the Heavens,

Tumult and peace, the darkness and the light—

Were all like workings of one mind, the features

Of the same face, blossoms upon one tree:

Characters of the great Apocalypse,

The types and symbols of Eternity,

Of first, and last, and midst, and without end.
