The Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire.
His wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
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.
