" He shouted, as in answer to the wind That had swung round like some infuriate host. With all its blasts set full upon the coast ; And hounded back, the ship, as if at bay, Came reeling through the twilight, thick and grey With rags of solid foam and shock of breaking Waters, beneath whose blows the very rocks were shaking.
96 The Heather on Fire : XLIV.
Yea, near and nearer to the deadly shore She pitches helpless 'mid the bellowing roar Of confluent breakers, as with sidelong keel, Dragging ...her anchors, she doth plunge and reel. Dashed forwards, then recoiling from the rocks, Whose flinty ribs ring to the Atlantic shocks — On, on, and ever on, till hurled and battered Sheer on the rock she springs, and falls back wrecked and shattered.
XLV.
And through the smoke of waters and the clouds Of driving foam, boats, rigging, masts, and shrouds Whirled round and round ; and then athwart the storm The old man saw, or raving saw, the form Of his own son, as with his children pressed Close to his heart, borne on the giddy crest Of a sheer wall of wave, he rose and rose.
