Page 412 - Some to the sun their insect-wings unfold, Waft on the breeze, or sink in clouds of gold. Transparent Forms, too fine for mortal sight, Their fluid bodies half dissolved in light.
Page 412 - While every beam new transient colours flings, Colours that change whene'er they wave their wings, Amid the circle, on the gilded mast, Superior by the head, was Ariel...
