APPENDIX VII

‘Lines written in Early Spring’, ll. 11, 12

Compare the ‘Laws of Manu’, i. 49: 

  “Vegetables, as well as animals, have internal consciousness, and are
  sensible of pleasure and pain.”

This I have received from a correspondent, but I have never seen the English version.—­Ed.

    “His neck, a varying arch, between his towering wings.”
