In the wide womb of uncreated night?

With grave
Aspect he rose, and in his rising seem’d
A pillar of state; deep on his front engraven
Deliberation sat, and public care;
And princely counsel in his face yet shone,
Majestic though in ruin: sage he stood,
With Atlantean shoulders, fit to bear
The weight of mightiest monarchies; his look
Drew audience and attention still as night
Or summer’s noontide air.

Paradise Lost. Book ii. Line 300.

Of thunder heard remote.

Scowls o’er the darken’d landscape.
