Far up the glen, as we pause beside
the cross, the sky is seen through the openings in the pines,
thin with excess of light; and, in its clear, consuming flame of
white space, the summits of the rocky
mountains
are gathered
into solemn crown and circlets, all flushed in that strange, faint
silence of possession by the sunshine which has in it so deep a
melancholy; full of power, yet as frail as shadows; lifeless, like
the walls of a sepulchre, yet beautiful in tender fall of crim-
son folds, like the veil of some sea spirit that lives and dies as
the foam flashes; fixed on a perpetual throne, stern against all
strength, lifted above all sorrow, and yet effaced and melted
utterly into the air by that last sunbeam that has crossed to
them from between the two golden clouds.

All perfection Heaven showers on us,
All imperfection born beneath the skies,
All that regales our spirits and our eyes,
And all those things that devour our pleasures:
All those ills that strip our age of treasures,
All the good the
centuries
might devise,
Rome in ancestral times secured as prize,
Like Pandora's box, enclosed the measure.

THE SEA WIND
I AM a pool in a peaceful place,
I greet the great sky face to face,
I know the stars and the stately moon
And the wind that runs with
rippling
shoon--
But why does it always bring to me
The far-off, beautiful sound of the sea?

The
parliament, that had been so unseasonably called to-
gether from their business and recreations, in a sea-
son of the year that they most desired to be vacant,
were not pleased to be so soon dismissed : and very
great pains were taken by those, who were thought
to be able to do him the least harm, because they
were known to be his enemies, to persuade the
members of parliament, " that it was the chancellor
" only who had hindered their continuing together,
" and that he had advised the king to
dissolve
" them ;" which exceedingly inflamed them.
