Or do ye find, at length, like eagles, some high nest P The apostrophe to Clarens, the scene of Rousseau's romance, which has been far too highly praised, is very beautiful; but the beauty is that which is imparted by the poet, whose mind transformed the dross of the maudlin sensualist ' Into something rich and strange. ' THE LITE AND WRITINGS OF LORD BYRON. 343 Clarens ! sweet CJarens, birth-place of deep Love ! Thine air is the young breath of passionate thought; Thy trees take root in Love ;... the snows above The very Glaciers have his colours caught, And sun-set into rose- hues sees them wrought By rays which sleep there lovingly : the rocks, The permanent crags, tell here of Love, who sought In them a refuge from the worldly shocks Which stir and sting the soul with hope that woos, then mocks. Clarens ! by heavenly feet thy paths are trod — Undying Love's, who here ascends a throne To which the steps are mountains ; where the god Is a pervading life and light — so shown Not on those summits solely, nor alone In the still cave and forest; o'er the flower His eye is sparkling, and iiis breath hath blown — His soft and summer breath, whose tender power Passes the strength of storms in their most desolate hour.
