Chapter XX
THE ROOTS OF THE HILLS. In the poems of James Thomson, we find two hymns to the God of Creation--one in blank verse, the other in stanzas. They are of the kind which from him we should look for. The one in blank verse, which is as an epilogue to his great poem, _The Seasons_, I prefer. We owe much to Thomson.
