_Passage in Thomson._--In Thomson's "Hymn to the Seasons," line 28, occurs
the following passage:
"But wandering oft, with brute, unconscious gaze,
Man marks not Thee; marks not the mighty hand
That, ever busy, wheels the silent spheres;
Works in the secret deep; shoots, _steaming_, thence
The fair profusion that o'erspreads the spring," &c.
Can any of your readers oblige by saying whether the word _steaming_, in
the fourth line of the quotation, is the correct reading? If so, in what
sense it can be understood? if not, whether _teeming_ is not probably the
correct word?
