Excerpt: ...doth remain A shadow of man's ravage, save his own, When for a moment, like a drop of rain, He sinks into thy depths with bubbling groan, Without a grave, unknelled, uncoffined, and unknown. Thou glorious mirror, where th' Almighty's form Glasses itself in tempests; in all time, Calm or convulsed, --in breeze or gale or storm, Icing the pole, or in the torrid clime Dark heaving;--boundless, endless, and sublime, --The image of Eternity, --the throne Of the Invisible; even from out thy slime The monsters of the deep are made; each zone Obeys thee: thou goest forth, dread, fathomless, alone.
