How Vallas reigned o’er earth’s stupendous caves
Mightily. He who vowed and he who reaped
With eager contest, made their gods themselves.
The intelligible forms of ancient poets
The fair humanities of old religion
The Power, the Beauty, and the Majesty
That had their haunts in dale or piny mountain
Or forest or slow stream, or pebbly spring
Our chasms and watery depths; all these have vanished
