Through the lightened air a higher lustre and a clearer calm, diffusive, trembles

James Thomson, a Scottish poet known for his descriptive and evocative nature poetry, often used vivid imagery to capture the beauty of the natural world. In his work, Thomson frequently explored themes of light, air, and the changing seasons, creating a sense of wonder and awe in his readers. One of his most famous lines, "Through the lightened air a higher lustre and a clearer calm, diffusive, trembles," perfectly encapsulates his ability to paint a picture with words and evoke a sense of tranquility and serenity.
