The Botanic Garden QUOTES

1 " Bade round the youth explosive steam aspire,
In gathering clouds, and wing'd the wave with fire;
Bade with cold streams the quick expansion stop, And sunk the immense of vapour to a drop.- Press'd by the ponderous air the Piston falls Resistless, sliding through its iron walls;
Quick moves the balanced beam, of giant-birth, Wields his large limbs, and nodding shakes the earth. "

― Erasmus Darwin , The Botanic Garden
