" Though all that feeds on nether air 

 Howe'er magnificent or fair, 

 Grows but to perish, and intrust 

 Its ruins to their kindred dust ; 

 Yet by the Almighty's ever during care 

 Her procreant vigils Natm-e keeps 

 Amid the unfathomable deeps ; 

 And saves the peopled fields of earth 

 From dread of emptiness or dearth." — Wordsworth : ' Vernal Ode .
