But countless crowds in countless manners urged,

From time eternal, by intrinsic weight

And ceaseless repercussion, to combine

In all the possibilities of forms,

Of actions, and connections, and exert

In every change some effort to create--

Reared the rude frame at length, abruptly reared,

Which, when once gendered, must the basis prove

Of things sublime; and whence eventual rose

Heaven, earth, and ocean, and the tribes of sense.
