Quote #4
A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard
In spring-time from the Cuckoo-bird,
Breaking the silence of the seas
Among the farthest Hebrides. (13-16)
As in lines 9-12, despite the solitary reaper's special relationship to nature, she's still not quite one with it. Her song is different than the cuckoo-bird's song, way out there near the Hebrides. The implication is that you could travel "way out there" (to the Hebrides) and still not find a natural counterpart.
