Jedidiah Vincent Huntington: On reading Bryant’s Poem of “The Winds.” - ZaunköniG - 02.07.2007 On reading Bryant’s Poem of “The Winds.” Ye winds! whose various voices in his lay That bard interpreted, - your utterance mild, Nor less your ministration, fierce and wild, Of those resistless laws which ye obey In your apparent lawlessness, - O, say, Is not your will-less agency reviled When it is likened unto what is styled By such unwise, The Spirit of the Day? Not all the islands by tornadoes swept, E’er knew such ruin as befalls a state, When not the winds of God, but mortal breath, With threatening sweetness of melodious hate, Assaults the fabrics reverent ages kept To shelter ancient loyalty and faith. |
