"Whate'er we see, whate'er we feel, / Does all the God reveal, / Confirms the Grand Mistake / Of Those, whose Eagle-Thoughts would make / His Seat so wondrous high, / Beyond the Limits of the Sky, /Out beyond the World's wide Sphear, /And fix his Habitation there."

Metaphor in Context
V.
Whate'er we see, whate'er we feel,
Does all the God reveal,
Confirms the Grand Mistake
Of Those, whose Eagle-Thoughts would make
His Seat so wondrous high,
Beyond the Limits of the Sky,
Out beyond the World's wide Sphear,
And fix his Habitation there.
Whate'er we see, whate'er we feel,
Does all the God reveal,
Confirms the Grand Mistake
Of Those, whose Eagle-Thoughts would make
His Seat so wondrous high,
Beyond the Limits of the Sky,
Out beyond the World's wide Sphear,
And fix his Habitation there.
