Very tranquil and noble is Twilight: a giant in repose, he meditates, leaning upon his elbow, looking down.

I could scarcely believe, so exquisitely tranquil is the scene, the very murmur of the stream which flows around seems to soften itself in unison with the stillness of the landscapethat Ashbourne had ever been other than the abode of rural peace and comfort; and yet I was assured that during the war there was scarcely any limit to the bustle and gaiety which pervaded it.

And like themselves the rocks appear, And tranquil are the skies, 1819.
