As the skull of the man grows broader, so do his creeds.
And his gods they are shaped in his image and mirror his needs.
And he clothes them with thunders and beauty,
He clothes them with music and fire,
Seeing not, as he bows by their altars,
That he worships his own desire.

He wakes a portion with judicious care;
And "Let us worship God!" he says, with solemn air.

Man always worships something; always he sees the Infinite
