(16.6.1535.

Au milieu de nos champs cultivés, en vain l'imagination cherche à s'étendre; elle rencontre de toutes parts les habitations des hommes:- mais dans ces pays déserts l'âme se plait à s'enfoncer, à se perdre, dans un océan d'éternelles forêts; elle aime à errer, à la clarté des étoiles, aux bords des lacs immenses, à planer sur la gouffre mugissant des terribles cataracts, à tomber avec la masse des ondes, et, pour ainsi dire, à se mêler, à se fondre, avec toute une nature sauvage et sublime.' - CHATEAUBRIAND (Revolutions anciennes et modernes; livre I. part ii. chap. 57).

**** quæ passim foras nocte dieque sentirent, veneranda, pulchra, splendida, -illa omnia notaverint quasi signa præsentium Deorum. Ex quo effectum esse, ut totidem colerent Numina, quot haberet rerum natura sive formidinis sive venustatis species.'- KEBLE (Wordsworthii de Graiis versus summatim reddens, apud Prælectiones de Poëticæ Vi Medicá, præl. xxx.).
