Still this great solitude is quick with life. Myriads of insects, gaudy as the flowers They flutter over, gentle quadrupeds, And birds, that scarce have learned the fear of man, Are here, and sliding reptiles of the ground, Startlingly beautiful.

~~~~~~~
The man how bless’d, who, sick of gaudy scenes, (Scenes apt to thrust between us and ourselves,) Is led by choice to take his fav’rite walk Beneath death’s gloomy, silent, cypress shades, Unpierc’d by vanity’s fantastic ray; To read his monuments, to weigh his dust, Visit his vaults, and dwell among the tombs.
