Authors:
  • Sunrays, leaning on our southern hills and lighting
    Wild cloud-mountains that drag the hills along,
    Oft ends the day of your shifting brilliant laughter
    Chill as a dull face frowning on a song.
    Ay, but shows the South-west a ripple-feathered bosom
    Blown to silver while the clouds are shaken and ascend
    Scaling the mid-heavens as they stream, there comes a sunset
    Rich, deep like love in beauty without end.

    George Meredith, George Macaulay Trevelyan (1912). “The poetical works of George Meredith: with some notes”
