What be these two shapes high over the sacred fountain, Taller than all the Muses, and higher than all the mountain? On these two peaks they stand, ever spreading and heightening; Look in their deep double shadow, the crowned ones all disappearing!.... These are Astronomy and Geology - terrible Muses!


The Works of Alfred Lord Tennyson, Poet Laureate, Parnassus
