SO Zemblas rocks (the beauteous work of Frost) Rise white in air, and glitter o'er the coast; Pale suns, unfelt, at distance roll away, And on the impassive ice the light'nings play; Eternal snows the growing mass supply, Till the bright mountains prop the incumbent sky; As Atlas fix'd, each hoary pile appears, The gather'd winter of a thousand years. Pope. The Temple of Fame, lines 53-60.
