Earth's Dissolution

“THE world appears To toll the death-bell of its own decease: And by the voice of all its elements, To preach the general doom. When were winds Let slip with such a warrant to destroy? When did the waves so haughtily o'erleap Their ancient barrier, deluging the dry? Fires from beneath, and meteors from above, Portentous, unexampled, unexplained, Have kindled beacons in the skies. The old And crazy earth has had her shaking fits More frequent, and foregone her usual rest; And Nature seems with dim and sickly eye To wait the close of all. — Cowper.
