MS III Third Poetry Anthology
	 Ruskin compiled this anthology in MS III around 9 March 1829, in response to his parents’ criticism that he left projects unfinished. The anthology occupies pages following “Harry and Lucy . . . vol. 2” and the MS III second poetry anthology. For dating and discussion, see </link>“Of rocks first and of caverns now I sing,” date<link> and <link>“Another” [“Far towards Chelsea”]</nolink>). The poems, in order, are:
“Of rocks first and of caverns now I sing”;
“The Ship” (1828);
“Sonnet to the Sun”;
“The Adventures of an Ant: A Tale”;
“On the Appearance of a Sudden Cloud of Yellow Fog Covering Everything with Darkness”;
“A Fragment” (“The summit of skiddaw was gilt by the sun”);
“A Shipwreck”;
“A Fragment” (“The world that in its orbit flies”);
“Another” (“Far towards Chelsea”);
“Another” (“On the noble Ben Lomond arose the bright sun”);
“Another” (“Thy winding rivers scotland and thy rocks”);
“A Psalm” (“I will extol thee O my Lord”).
The anthology wraps around two drawings, which probably predated the poems:
MS III drawing, untitled no. 2 (within “Of rocks first and of caverns now I sing”); MS III drawing, untitled no. 3 (following “The Adventures of an Ant: A Tale” and a page, blank except for the notation “chap 7,” and before “On the Appearance of a Sudden Cloud of Yellow Fog Covering Everything with Darkness”).
