“Amid the high Chaldean hills a moulder of the heavenly spheres; “On Guebre steppes the Timeless-God who governs by his dual peers:

“In Hebrew tents the Lord that led His leprous slaves to fight and jar; “Yahveh,* Adon or Elohîm, the God that smites, the Man of War.

“The lovely Gods of lib’ertine Greece, those fair and frail humanities “Whose homes o’erlook’d the Middle Sea, where all Earth’s beauty cradled lies,

“Ne’er left its blessèd bounds, nor sought the barb’arous climes of barb’arous gods “Where Odin of the dreary North o’er hog and sickly mead-cup nods:

“And when, at length, ‘Great Pan is dead’ uprose the loud and dol’orous cry “A glamour wither’d on the ground, a splendour faded in the sky.
