Methinks he seems no bigger than his head : The fishermen that walk upon the beach Appear like mice ; and yond tall anchoring bark Diminish'd to her cock ; her cock, a buoy Almost too small for sight : the murmuring surge 20 That on the unnumber'd idle pebbles chafes Cannot be heard so high.
Seite 634 - ... purple peak, each flinty spire, Was bathed in floods of living fire. But not a setting beam could glow Within the dark ravines below...
Seite 631 - And mountains, that like giants stand, To sentinel enchanted land. High on the south, huge Ben venue Down on the lake in masses threw Crags, knolls and mounds, confusedly...
