“There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills; but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling.”

In an iron-blue chamber of that afternoon
On which we wore things and looked well at
A slab of business rising behind the stars.”
