APPENDIX.

229 Shade and Darkness.-The Evening of the Deluge.
"The moon puts forth her sign of woe unheeded;
But disobedience slept; the darkening Deluge

Closed around,

And the last token came: the giant frame-work floated,
The scared birds forsook their nightly shelter screaming,
And the beasts waded to the Ark."-Fallacies of Hope.

230 Light and Colour (Goethe's Theory)-The Morning after the Deluge-Moses writing the Book of Genesis.

"The ark stood firm on Ararat; th' returning sun
Exhaled earth's humid bubbles, and, emulous of light,
Reflected her lost forms, each in prismatic guise
Hope's harbinger, ephemeral as the summer fly

Which rises, flits, expands, and dies."—Fallacies of Hope.
