Página 97 - Vilos y el pecho se inflamó a su vista en grave indignación. Por otra parte vi mentidos filósofos que osaban escrutar tus misterios, ultrajarte, y de impiedad al lamentable abismo a los míseros hombres arrastraban. Por eso...
Página 94 - Ah, terribly they rage, — The hoarse and rapid whirlpools there! My brain Grows wild, my senses wander, as I gaze Upon the hurrying waters ; and my sight Vainly would follow, as toward the verge Sweeps the wide torrent. Waves innumerable Meet there and madden, — waves innumerable Urge on and overtake the waves before, And disappear in thunder and in foam.
