• When the Sun sets, shadows, that shew'd at Noon
  But small, appear most long and terrible;
  So, when we think Fate hovers o'er our Heads,
  Our apprehensions shoot beyond all bounds,
  Owls, Ravens, Crickets seem the watch of death,
  Nature's worst Vermine scare her God-like Sons.
  Ecchoes the very leavings of a Voice,
  Grow babling Ghosts, and call us to our Graves:
  Each Mole-hill thought swells to a huge Olympus,
  While we fantastick Dreamers heave and puff,
  And sweat with an Imagination's weight.

  John Dryden
