龍卷風(fēng)，羅杰斯的“詩歌”

Turner’s watercolour for Tornaro was sensitively translated into black lines and engraved on steel by Robert Wallis. The engraving accompanied the following lines:

‘The shepherd on Tornaro’s misty brow,

And the swart seamen, sailing far below,

Not undelighted watch the morning ray

Purpling the orient - till it breaks away,

And burns and blazes into glorious day!’

John Ruskin described the prints in Rogers’s Poems as ‘the loveliest engravings ever produced by the pure line’.
