The interpretation goes like this:
The day dawned on Pothika’s peak
And ‘neath the dash that lay a crescent
Was the ragged mountain-cave
Its mammoth mouth broad agape
‘Twixt whose tooth, solemn and religious
Flowed the flood onto the plain.
We might examine these traces with Kubla Khan of Coleridge:
“.. That deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the inexperienced hill.”
The Night comes like this:
The hasting Solar rushed headlong
And smote the spring with million shafts;
The frothy foam vaporescent
In atoms rose as wondrous bow
Which he eyed in delight nice,
The searching bow on shoulder slacked.
Right here, the road ‘frothy foam vaporescent; could also be in comparison with Milton’s
‘When vapours fired
Impress the air”
