This question is based on Literary Principles


''It is a beauteous evening, calm and free

The holy time is quiet as a Nun

Breathless with adoration; the broad sun

Is sinking down in its tranquility;

The gentleness of heaven broods O'er the sea:

Listen! the might Being is awake

And doth with his eternal motion make

A sound like thunder-everlasting'.
