Not vainly did the early Persian make[335] His altar the high places, and the peak Of earth-o'ergazing mountains,[19.B.] --and thus take A fit and unwalled temple, there to seek The Spirit, in whose honour shrines are weak Upreared of human hands. Come, and compare Columns and idol-dwellings--Goth or Greek-- With Nature's realms of worship, earth and air-- Nor fix on fond abodes to circumscribe thy prayer!
