_Line quoted by De Quincey_.--"S.P.S." (No. 22. p. 351.) is informed
that
"With battlements that on their restless fronts
Bore stars"...
is a passage taken from a gorgeous description of "Cloudland" by
Wordsworth, which occurs near the end of the second book of the
Excursion. The opium-eater gives a long extract, as "S.P.S." probably
remembers.
