Essays of Elia (1823)
They nothing see,
Themselves except, and creatures like themselves,
That liv'd short-sighted, impotent to save.

Destruction cometh 'like an armed man,'
Or like a dream of murder in the night,
Withering their mortal faculties, & breaking
The bones of all their pride.
Living Without God In The World (1798)
