"A thunder-storm!â€”the eloquence of heaven, When every cloud is from its slumber riven, Who hath not paused beneath its hollow groan, And felt Omnipotence around him thrown? With what a gloom the ushâ€™ring scene appears! The leaves all shivâ€™ring with instinctive fears, The waters curling with a fellow dread, A veiling fervour round creation spread, And, last, the heavy rainâ€™s reluctant shower, With big drops pattâ€™ring on the tree and bower, While wizard shapes the bowing sky deform,â€” All mark the coming of the thunder-storm!"

“Your Catfish Friend If I were to live my life in catfish forms in scaffolds of skin and whiskers at the bottom of a pond and you were to come by one evening when the moon was shining down into my dark home and stand there at the edge of my affection and think, â€œIt's beautiful here by this pond. I wish somebody loved me,â€ I'd love you and be your catfish friend and drive such lonely thoughts from your mind and suddenly you would be at peace, and ask yourself, â€œI wonder if there are any catfish in this pond? It seems like a perfect place for them.”
