"Quel que soit le principe de la vie animale, il ne faut qn'ouvrir les yeux pour voir qu'elle est le cbef-d'oeuvre de la Toute-puissance, et le but auquel se rappor- tent toutes ses ;—Bruckner, Theoric du Sijsteme Animal, Leyden, 1767. The sylvan powers Obey our summons; from their deepest dells The Dryads come, and throw their garlands wild And odorous branches at our feet; the Nymphs That press with nimble step the mountain-thyme And purple heath-flower come not empty-handed, But scatter round ten thousand forms minute Of velvet moss or lichen, torn from rock Or rifted oak or cavern deep: the Naiads too Quit their loved native stream, from whose smooth face They crop the lily, and each sedge and rush That drinks tlie rippling tide: the I'rozen poles. Where peril Awaits the bold adventurer's tread. The buniing sands of Borneo and Cayenne, All, all to us unlock their secret stores And ]iay their cheerful tribute. J. Taylor, Norwich, 1818.
