Whilst he was despatching this man with his arrows, they shouted, Hie
Paian;[432] whence has been
transmitted
the custom of singing the Pæan
before the onset of a battle; that after the death of the Python the

A
Christian
priest he seem'd; a sumptuous[119] shrine
He rear'd, and tended with the rites divine:
O'er the fair altar wav'd the cross on high,
Upheld by angels leaning from the sky;
Descending o'er the Virgin's sacred head
So white, so pure, the Holy Spirit spread
The dove-like pictur'd wings, so pure, so white;
And, hov'ring o'er the chosen twelve, alight
The tongues of hallow'd fire.

Treitschke - 1915 - Confessions of Frederick the Great |

In every cry of every man,
In every infant's cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forged manacles I hear:
How the chimney-sweeper's cry
Every
blackening
church appals,
And the hapless soldier's sigh
Runs in blood down palace-walls.

He will have ripe
gooseberries
for supper,
And then he will walk up and down the path
By the wall,
And admire the snapdragons and dahlias,
Thinking how quiet and peaceful
The garden is.
