Forth from his dark and lonely hiding place  
  (Portentous-sight!) the owlet Atheism,  
  Sailing an obscene wings athwart the noon,  
  Drops his blue-fringèd lids, and holds them close,  
  And hooting at the glorious sun in Heaven,  
  Cries out, "Where is it?"
"Fears in Solitude", l. 81 (1798)
