Meanwhile the voyager enters fervid zones. Where grander, more voluptuous flora blooms ; 119 Rich orange bowers the genial climate owns, And stately palms lift high their waving plumes ; The trailing vine with luscious burden groans, And mingled incense earth and heaven perfumes. So on a fuller, more stupendous scale Appeared the objects where our flight had been ; Ten myriad myriad were the wonders seen, On countless systems passing within hail. Of every geologic age and hue, Swept slow-maturi...ng planets wheeling past ; Worlds rude and shapeless, worlds in splendor cast ; Devonian, Drift, Olytic, Tersian, New ; No one a copy of aught viewed before. Worlds just emerging from chaotic gloom. Worlds without sea, all undulating shore ; Worlds cased in rock basaltic, black as doom, Others volcanic, igneous to the core, And worlds rolled by in Eden's fairest bloom. There worlds with Horims and behemoths teemed, And giant birds like Sinbad saw of eld ; And here the actual monsters we beheld, Whose mighty bulk I scarce in slumber dreamed.
