The clumsy mimic idols of our shrines
Stumble and break to pieces—oh, here it is—
‘Quapropter effigiem Dei formamque quærere,
Imbecillitatis humanæ reor’—
‘All visible effigies of God
But types of human imbecility.’—
But what has Antioch to say to that,
Who at such cost of marble and of gold
Has built the very temple into which
She drags her tutelary Zeus to-day?—
