And you, pale marble statues, far descried
  Where vistas open suddenly,
I bid you shew yourselves no more, but hide
Your loveliness, lest too much glorified
  By western radiance slantingly
  Shot down the glade, you turn from stone
  To living gods, immortal grown,
And, ageless, mock my beauty's fleeting pride,
You pale, relentless statues, far descried. . . .
