Canst thou send lightnings that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?— Nothing can be more elevated and sublime than this verse. How strong the image! how simple the expression! We read of winged lightnings in the heathen ports; but where do they live, and act, and speak, and wait for orders with impatience, as here? See Peters, and Longinus on the Sublime, sect. 9 and Dr. Smith's notes on sect. 18.
