The poem is called "Resolution and Independence," and Pat, re Ruskin, it contains one of be prime examples of one of the big things Rusking wrestles with in his troubled formulation of "the Pathetic Fallacy," which 1856 essay I srongly recommend if you do not know it. It is important, in part because Ruskin later repudiates it (in that Fors Cligera piece, for instance). The particular line is "The sky rejoices in the morning's birth. . . ." cheers, g --- from list phillitcrit-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
