| C.N. Douglas, comp. Forty Thousand Quotations: Prose and Poetical. 1917. | | | | Heat |
| | | | Hither rolls the storm of heat; |
| I feel its finer billows beat |
| Like a sea which me infolds; |
| Heat with viewless fingers moulds, |
| Swells, and mellows, and matures, |
| Paints, and flavors, and allures, |
| Bird and brier inly warms, |
| Still enriches and transforms, |
| Gives the reed and lily length, |
| Adds to oak and oxen strength, |
| Transforming what it doth infold, |
| Life out of death, new out of old. |
Emerson. | 1 | | |
