Not with more madness, rolling from afar,
The spumy waves proclaim the wat’ry war;
And mounting upwards with a mighty roar,
March onwards, and insult the rocky shore. Dryden.The spumous and florid state of the blood, in passing through the lungs, arises from its own elasticity, and its violent motion, the aerial particles expanding themselves. Arbuthnot.
