38 The Shadow of XXXVIII.
T) UT not a God so proud a tomb can boast '^-^ As these of Man's, whereon the vanquish'd sight, In ranging o'er their huge proportions lost, Fails to conceive the enormous mass aright ; Till, at their feet encamping night by night, And day by day contemplating, we find The fulness of their majesty and might Inspire by slow degrees the expanding mind ; And feel they are as tombs of men should be, No sculptured marble pomp, no tinsel glare, A stern, yet a serene simplici...ty, A majesty as naked and as bare, From all earth's paltry ornament as free. As they went from the world who slumber there.
THE Pyramid. 39 XXXIX.
\ ND who are ye with minds to judge aright? Not ye who, passing, glance, and go your way, Ye who have slept beneath their shade by night, * And seen them in the morn's transparent ray The freshness of immortal youth display; Or watched the moon beyond all others bright Garb their gigantic forms in reverend white. And crown their heads with locks of silver grey : Ye who have quarried in the human mine, Calling all modern science to your aid, And if that ye have found some rude-scrawl'd line, To hang a guess on when these stones were laid, Or what the purpose of the vast design.
